House of Denim to hire skilled Syrian refugees

After worries over Syrian conflict cotton and even Syrian refugee children surfacing in Turkish garment factories, here is some positive news for Syrian refugees: Denim City, an Amsterdam non-profit organisation dedicated to craftsmanship, innovation and sustainability in the denim industry, has started a project that will employ Syrian refugees who are skilled tailors, washers or other industry professionals to work at their Denim City Workshop. FashionUnited spoke with newly appointed general manager of Denim City, Harm Magis, about the project and its progress.
