The
Designer
Raegan
McCain got a nose ring when the other kids were wearing denim and feathering
their hair. She brings healthy snacks to company outings and is the
genius behind Vshirts.
Her
background in interactive design belies her tender age. She has
served as art director for MCA Records, Wheel of Fortune, and
Fashiontrip, as well as AFI's award-winning 100 Years-100 Stars
site. She was also instrumental in creating Universal Studio's
online presence. Her work for American Honda includes HondaFinance.com
and Owner Link. An accomplished painter and photographer, Raegan
earned her B.F.A. in electronic media from NIU.
The Goods
We proudly use American
Apparel products for their commitment to making "Sweatshop Free"
shirts and for their goal to seek profits through innovation not exploitation.
American
Apparel is at the vanguard of a new business alternative. They treat
their workers with dignity and pay them a living wage and beyond. 100%
of everything they produce is sewn in their building without subcontractors.
In the initial stage of environmental assesment, they've embarked on
a program to recycle thousands of tons of fabric scraps annually and
are committed to finding viable alternatives such as solar power, pesticide
free organic cotton, and an internal environmental audit of daily operations.
American Apparel is proving that business-as-usual is not even good
business. Globalization in its current form has polarized design and
manufacturing such that it is grossly inefficient and necessitates human
(and environmental) exploitation.
American
Apparel practices social activism and believes business can be used
to bring about social change. Using the corporation as an activist tool
is a pioneering example of progressive politics and industry.
As
philosopher Paul Hawkin wrote: "The ultimate purpose of busines
is not, or should not be, simply to make money....The promise
of business is to increase the general well-being of humankind
through service, creative invention and ethical philosophy.
