Fashion Revolution: Slowing Down Fast Fashion

Fashion Revolution Week 2018 will mark the fifth year of Fashion Revolution, the world’s largest fashion activism movement founded to radically change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased. It also marks five years since the Rana Plaza garment factory collapsed in Bangladesh, where 1,138 people were killed and many more injured on 24th April 2013.

Fashion Revolution Week 2018 will mark the fifth year of Fashion Revolution, the world’s largest fashion activism movement founded to radically change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased. It also marks five years since the Rana Plaza garment factory collapsed in Bangladesh, where 1,138 people were killed and many more injured on 24th April 2013.

Ask Yourself: Who Made Your Clothes?

The campaign will run from 23- 29 April in more than 100 countries around the world, and will challenge more people than ever before to demand systemic reform of the industry with a special focus on the need for greater transparency in the supply chain. To ensure brands continue to listen and create the far reaching, permanent change needed to ensure we never see a tragedy like Rana Plaza again, the campaign will encourage everyone to join the Fashion Revolution and keep asking one simple questions: Who Made My Clothes? The initiative will also explore how producers, farmers, factories and makers and shoppers can come together through Fashion Revolution.
