London College of Fashion have been working with Sri Lanka&#x27;s largest fair trade handloom business for the past year. Projects have focused on creating greater transparency from fiber to consumer by measuring and maximizing the impact within communities of producing fashion items. The aim has been to challenge the fashion industry and prove that there are better ways to create and manufacturer.
