Lakshmi Bhatia speaks at Brighton University

If you have an interest in working in ethical fashion - you probably don't envisage yourself at a big high street company like Gap. You might see yourself owning a small alternative boutique packed full of brightly colored handcrafted clothes from India, working with West African fair trade producers on an organic cotton range or recycling and customizing old fabric. All of these strands of ethical fashion are important and are challenging the ways in which the garment industry is managed but as Lakshmi Bhatia, from Gap, says ‘there is space even within large companies for individuals to bring about change.' Lakshmi, Head of Social Compliance at Gap Inc, shared with students and tutors at Brighton University, how Gap are trying to ‘clean up' their supply chain.
