Fairtrade Clothing Label

Poverty
New Zealand - Wanagnui, Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland
Inspiration
There are so many ways which I was inspired to do this. Hands down I'd have to say it is because a seed was planted in my heart by God to make a difference in this world and in my country.

One of the reasons behind this label is so the farmers and the factory workers can have a fair price and not have to live in poverty. Its about setting people free from the injustices of this world.

Id have to say Im inspired by The I Heart Revolution, Jedidiah Clothing, Tomsshoes, Freeset, and ARK Clothing.
What
The logo has been designed, I have the first lot of T-shirts screen printed. Did a photoshoot, and now working on a promo video. I will give you a link soon so you can see it all.

Still hoping to launch the label fully next year. Also, am hopefully going to San Diego to hang out with the Jedidiah Clothing crew in August (to gain some experience), then going to Kolkata to see the people who make the T-shirts sometime next year.
How
This is a team effort! It would not be possible to do it on my own. This label has the input of of designer and illustrators from all over NZ.

Ok so the tshirt illustrations are well underway. Ive had some fantastic feed back from New Zealanders about what they want their voice to be, eg fairtrade, justice.

Now Im wanting to know.....
What do you want put on a tshirt? what do you want your voice to be?

Id love to hear what you have to say!
I cant do this alone.

God Bless
