When one of their schemes collapsed I took-over the domain name:
to promote a list of all the UK undies and T shirt making firms I could find. If any are not on the list of have any ideas how I should improve it, please get in touch. (Oh: there were other schemes, but some of the founding stories like “Juste” the womenswear brand were fiction. A lot of Ethical Fashion Forum was made-up by an ad agency called Futerra with help from government ministers giving them favours like PR through the British Council or the V&A or art colleges on government grants – usually University of the Arts’ London College of Fashion).
