two thoughts and a question:

first, people need to understand there is a difference between a ‘green and fair trade businesses’ and a sweatshop?in the case of anthropologie they hypocritically fashion themselves to be green…if ‘green’ can be produced from a sweatshop.

second, it?s quite ironic how anthropologie ?creates? and perpetuates a class separate from ?those people??.snubbing their nose at the very people but for whom they would not have their symbols of success?

who are some ?independent designers whose craftsmanship and aesthetic are worthy of praise and support??

It is difficult to sift through ALL the information that is out there on the internet. I have been trying to do a better job at documenting the original source of the information (although I still have a long way to go), In this case the original source was a <a href="http://journalism.nyu.edu/pubzone/annotate/node/198" rel="nofollow">blog</a> that is I believe a part of NYU journalism, at least that is what I understand from what it says. Here is another <a href="http://www.urbancounterfeiters.com/" rel="nofollow">website</a> you might be interested in. Mollie Hi Joanna and Marylou,

What is the source of this information. It's very challenging to sift through all the info that comes over the net without documentation. That is my question. What is the source of this information.
