Ethical clothes site to launch

Dedicated followers of fashion who care where their clothes come from and the working conditions of those make them will soon have a new online magazine.

BBC Thread launches on 22 April and according to the BBC it will cater for the 50 per cent of 16- to 30-year-olds who want information on the working conditions of people manufacturing clothes.

Katherine Hamnett, designer and supporter of Thread, said: "Thread is great because ethical fashion promises to be the next big thing and not just a passing fad. Young people are really interested in these issues."

The magazine will show you how to get the look you want through a mix of affordable fashion, exclusive celebrity videos and interviews, photo galleries and features, according to the BBC.

The launch will coincide with a four-part series on BBC Three called Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts.
