I wholeheartedly believe that we can see the end of modern-day slavery in our lifetime.

Join the Revolution
I don’t claim to be the most stylish person, and I’m sure that there are hundreds of others out there far more qualified (and fashionable) to talk about the fashion industry, but I’m going to get on my little soapbox anyway because this is something that I firmly believe has to change. We live in…
