Author who followed clothing tags around the world interviewed

Quest featured on the World Vision Report’s one-hour fashion special

Muncie, Indiana, February 21st 2008 – “Where am I wearing?” It seemed like such a simple question to freelance journalist Kelsey Timmerman as he scanned the tags of his favorite items of clothing. But the question launched him on a global quest to Honduras, Bangladesh, Cambodia, and China in search of the factories where his clothes were made and the workers who made them.

Timmerman recently spoke about the quest with host Peggy Wehmeyer of the World Vision Report, a nationally-syndicated radio program that focuses on the world’s poor. In the interview Timmerman talks about everything from his Bangladeshi Christmas boxers to his all-American Levi’s that were sewn together by 85 Cambodians. The interview is a part of the World Vision Report’s one-hour fashion special.

A book on the quest is scheduled to be published by Wiley & Sons in November 2008.
