SOCIAL ALTERATIONS: An educational Lab for Social Responsible Fashion Design.

"The fashion industry faces major challenges in both resources and labor, but designers featured in the Eco Chicexhibition strive to change the general attitude of fashion and consumption.”(Scandinavian House, onEco Chic)

“The ecological and ethical production of clothing begins with the design of a garment, and continues right through to the finished product, including the transparency of fashion companies about their production processes and materials.”(Scandinavian House, onEcoChic)
