Booooooooooo

Unang una dapat nagdedesign ako ngayon eh. Super kanina pa ako nakababad sa computer doing my research and stuff pero wala pa rin akong naachieve. Pangalawa, i was caught off guard rin nung tumawag si Iris, narealize ko namiss ko pala ng sobra ang bruha. Pero lagi ko naman namimiss yun. Sobrang distracted ko ngayon, andami kong iniisip. Plus it does not help na our apartment has now been turned into a motel ng bago naming suitmate. Jesssuuuss i can hear the sounds ah. How am i supposed to do my site analysis niyan. Oh well, wala lang just taking a breather. Soooppperrr taas ng aking stresss level. So many things to do. I'm really not in the mood to face O-ren Ishii tomorrow sa design. Pero i know damn well na i need her feedback sa proposal ko. Hay Denise Denise Denise. Snap out of it. Pagkapost mo nito gagawin mo na ang trabaho mo yehey. Yahoo yahooooo yahoooo sige na kaya mo yan. Fighting!

Rethink Fashion.

Laborers work for dying jeans, in the process inhale blue dust that is an irritant to the lungs

A second hands market in tanzania, where mens clothes are much expensive than women's clothing as women in hte west change clothes according to fashion often

A stagnant pond near a cloth factory in Bangaldesh filled with waste products

Child laborers are forced to work on minimal wages

Laborers work round the clock to earn as litle as $1

Some facts that’ll make u think:

1. Did u know what goes behind getting that colour in the new blue Levis’ that u just bought? Thousands of workers in China every day, work around the clock, in the process of sanding the jeans to get that look, inhale blue dust form the jeans, which is an irritant to the lungs!

Traditional dying is chlorine based and emits toxins!

2. Wearing that organic cotton we never realized that it requires, 20,000 liters of water per kilogram, it being a water dependent crop.

3. Polyester, a common fiber used in cloth manufacturing, uses petroleum, and the demand for it has doubled, in the past 15 years. Such synthetic clothes require crude oil and emit dangerous toxins in its manufacturing.

4. Patagonia, a US based company which not only recycles clothes, but also makes clothes form recycled PET bottles. An estimated 86 million bottles were recycled and used into apparels, through 1993 and 2006.

5. Second hand markets in the developing countries, where discarded but usable clothes lay in bulks, are sold either by weight or by price tags and they are bought for further sale in the interiors.

6. One might use detergents at lower temperatures to extend the life of a garment.And instead of drying in the machine, line dry them.

7. Ingeo, a polylactide, is made out of corn by-products. International haute couture firm Versace have used Ingeo in their collections

8. Majority of the clothes that adorn designer outlets are manufactured in developing countries where laborers including child laborers work in inhumane conditions for 10 hrs to get $1.
