Take a look at this article about Gloria Lee, a Coco Fashion Design Centre alumni. It is indeed commendable. We must promote designers like her to make Toronto a fashion capital!

Hey all,
Do you know what happens to all the clothes after we throw them away? How do they meet their end ? Are they burnt or left to degrade in the earth ???
Can you imagine the number of clothes we buy and dispose every year! Out of these large chunks are from man made material sources such as polyester, nylon –do you know it can be recycled !!!
Are these really being recycled or reused in actual -NO !!! We can do much more to ensure our clothing is earth and environmentally-friendly -I am sure there are many options!!
We might have seen lots of T shirts with print ”"Re-use, reduce, recycle ” but do we really “”DO IT”" What do you think !!

It’s nice to read about a designer trying to right a wrong when it comes to copying designs. But what do you think? Can clothing designs really be protected?
