Journal Entry 1 by optics from Derby, not specified not specified on Sunday, November 9, 2003
Lets take a look at what you are wearing on an average day at work (if you worked in an office). Tousers (Burtons, Next) Shirt/Blouse (M&S, Top Shop)... perhaps later you go out with friends, trainers (Nike, Addidas, etc). Do you know where these clothes where made? Do you know what conditions the people work and life in? Are they being paid a minimum wage, getting sick pay, maternaty pay?

If you are like me the then the answer is no to the above questions? I do not even know what country the clothes I wear were made in.

No Logo looks at the places clothers and footwear are manufactured, the way brands are marketed, the way that big corporations have infleuenced the employment strategies and working conditions in place today. This book will make you think about what you buy and how advertisments are infleuencing the way you perceive brands.

Go shopping regularly.... you should read this.
