This is where our global society is going: interconnectedness. Global and local dimensions brought together through fashion.“ The Ethical Fashion Initiative is a flagship programme of the International Trade Centre – a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization. The Initiative links the world’s top fashion talents to marginalized artisans enabling artisans connect with the global fashion chain. The Ethical Fashion Initiative also enables Africa’s rising generation of fashion talent to forge environmentally sound, sustainable and fulfilling creative collaborations with local artisans.
