You know Katharine Hamnett’s designs. She was the one who invented incredible lines including all of those cool slogan t-shirts, distressed denim jeans and other gotta-have fashion that was worn by the cool ‘80s celeb crowd. And don’t say you’re not old enough to remember that era. Ever see Boy George in his Culture Club heyday? Ever seen Madonna or Kate Moss circa 1989? Then you know Hamnett’s work. What you might not know is that she chucked her incredible success – read best selling lines – due to environmental and human rights concerns and turned to organic cotton with her relaunched line of mens’ and womens’ wear. Check out her new line – which still includes the trendy slogan T’s and other favorites –still favored by eco-conscious celebs. You can make the same cool fashion statements and also fight for garment workers – and the earth – when you wear them.
