The True Cost
If you are a fashion victim or a fast fashion stores fan, after watching this chocking documentary you might rethink your next visit to the shopping mall. “The True Cost” is about what you can’t see in those beautiful store showcases: bad working conditions, even leading people to death. The director Andrew Morgan shows the humanitarian problems in fashion industry and makes an important question: what is the real cost for what we wear?
Dior and I
After the scandal of John Galliano, in 2011, saying “I love Hitler” in a restaraunt, Dior needed to improve their image.
