I must say I never had you figured as a clothes horse Ingrid! You look fantastic! Given the disgraceful exploitation that goes on in the clothing industry by corporations that don’t care a fig for workers rights or working conditions, and the cheap, poor quality junk that is flooding the Australian market, I for one am on the lookout for well-made clothing that doesn’t make me look like a fashion victim or fall apart in three months. I don’t want to buy clothes that have cost someone their life. These days I ask the sales assistants in Target etc if they know the conditions in which clothes they are selling have been manufactured. They don’t have a clue of course – only what they know from the label. I love the look of Mariko’s outfits and her example shows that clothing enterprises don’t have to engage in the appalling practices and conditions we hear about in places like Bangladesh and China.

Dear Kimie,

I just read your article and find it very impressive. The message was presented with exceptional expertise using SME experience. Over my 45 years working around the world I found that a little local content (language and culture) made a great deal of difference in business. Great job.
