Fashion Q&A is a socially responsible publication which is actively involved in providing support,
help and commitment to the communities in which it works. We focus our support on key social
issues where we can make the greatest possible difference, using our expertise, our resources,
and the time and skills of our editors, writers and contributors.
In addition, Fashion Q&A is committed to encouraging and supporting the
charitable activities of its staff who devote their time and resources to
helping good causes. This is part of our responsibility as a good
corporate citizen, as an employer, and as a publication that believes in
initiative and partnership.

Q&A is dedicating our entire April issue to "Think Green Designers".

products can be high-fashion and this issue features lines like M the Movement, Uluru,
