Environmental issues and unfair
labor practices are two of
the biggest problems in today's
fashion industry, according to
Hafzi. " We are producing way
too much low-quality clothing
that has an extremely short
lifespan and ends up as waste, "
she says. She aims to provide
workers in Nepal with fair
wages and safe working conditions,
in contrast to the many
sweatshop-like factories that
exist there. " When much of
this clothing is produced under
conditions that are totally forbidden
in the European Union
and the United States-but not
forbidden to import-this only
adds to the overall bleak
picture of factories and
dye-houses with little or
no control of waste water
and toxic discharges. "
Hafzi cites low pay and
poor working conditions
as fashion's biggest labor
problems. " Workers
sleep, eat and work in the
same rooms. We don't
work with such plants, as it's
too hard for a small company
like ours to [create] change, "
she says. Hafzi points to
many diverse and challenging
issues-such as cultural differences
and emerging economies-as
major challenges, as
well as textiles produced " in
countries where human rights
and gender equality have a
long way to go. "
While she's one of the most
innovative fashion fi gures in
Norway, Hafzi knows that
reaching her goals will take
some time. Through exclusive
use of sustainable materials
and reduction of waste, she
hopes to be " fully ecological "
while working in developing
