“A Question Of” is a radical street fashion brand from Copenhagen using fair-trade, Tanzanian organic cotton to make tee shirts in Africa by empowered workers. As they say on their website “We are believers in sustainable fashion made with love and respect to people and the environment.” Their online store features eleven collaborating artists, and a good dose of humor.

From the tongue-in-cheek “Conscious Karl” Karl Lagerfeld and “Conscious Anna” Anna Wintour graphics to the “Eco-Yuppie” shirts, “A Question Of” is certainly making waves with their message and their practices.
