Fashion Revolution is a global movement calling for greater transparency, sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry.
Wanting to unite the fashion industry and ignite a revolution to radically change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased, so that what the world wears has been made in a safe, clean and fair way.
Despite some steps forward since the Rana Plaza garment factory collapsed in 2013 killing 1138 people, not enough has changed. About 75 million people work directly in the fashion and textiles industry, and about 80% of them are women. Many are subject to exploitation, verbal and physical abuse, working in unsafe conditions, with very little pay. This is why the ‘who made my clothes’ question is still hugely important.
How to take part:
· Take a selfie showing your clothing label, tag the brand on social media and ask them #whomademyclothes
· Sign the Manifesto and share our vision for a safer, fairer and cleaner fashion industry
· Write to a fashion brand to ask them to be more transparent and to commit to paying living wages
· Write to your local politicians and tell them you want better conditions for workers and the reduction of environmental impacts in the fashion industry everywhere in the world
· Try a #Haulternative: mend, reuse, recycle, customise or swap your clothing with a friend www.fashionrevolution.org/haulternative
· Check out the Fashion Transparency Index, which will cover 150 brands from April 2018
· Write a love story about an item of clothing that means a lot to you www.fashionrevolution.org/lovestory
