Beyond the Label (BtL) started as a partnership with TEDxLA to educate Angelenos about the true health, social, and environmental cost of their fashion purchases. BtL is now a mentorship and consulting organization that addresses the question “What's in my tee?” to encourage shoppers and designers to consider what their T-shirt is made of, is it healthy to wear, and how their purchases affect the world, the workers, and themselves.
