Hallo meine Lieben! The Conscience Collective is BACK! I know, I know, its about bloody time. Well, what have you missed: I've had a little munchkin, who is about to turn ONE in a few weeks and Emma H is now fully busy with several social enterprise initiatives in Trinidad, as she empowers local communities and artisans with her two platforms--Turtle Warrior & RACKEDTT--so The CC will now be led by me, Stacy H. The blog is still undergoing a revamp, but in the meanwhile, I thought it was necessary to get the posts going again, especially as this week marks the anniversary of the Rana Plaza Factory Disaster. Today also marks the start of Fashion Revolution Week and H&M's World Recycle Week. As a result, for the entire week, I will be looking at both initiatives and what they mean for fashion, social justice and humanity as a whole. I'll be talking about why I stay away from the high street, for the most part, and take you with me as I go into H&M for the first time in nearly 10 years.
