Ever wondered where our clothes come from? Who is sitting behind the sewing machines in order for us to look fabulous? I have often thought about this but chose not to dwell on it for too long.
Wonder no more. I stumbled onto this video that follows the journey of a t-shirt. Meet Doris and Jasmine. Okay, I'm pretty sure that there's a very slim chance that Doris and Jasmine actually made what you and I are wearing RIGHT NOW, but this video gives you an idea of how the majority of our clothes are made.
These two women live in vastly different societies and it made me very grateful (yet again) that I live in a society that allows me to pursue a career that I love, one that permits me to live comfortably and buy / wear all the cute outfits that my heart desires, and pretty much let's me do / say whatever I want, when I want. We forget how free we really are. We forget that being able to be whatever we want, is a privilege.
