Fashion Revolution 24/04/2014
24th April is FASHION REVOLUTION DAY. Who made your clothes?
This is the question that the fashion revolution wants everyone to ask. 12 months ago on 24th April 2013 1133 people died when the Rana Plaza factory in Dhaka Bangladesh collapsed. This is the cost of a fashion industry driven by low prices and profits and where ethics are given little thought. This was a shocking incident but smaller injustices happen every day that affect people’s lives and families.
Fashion revolution is about being curious and asking questions about how our clothes are made. Raising awareness of injustices in the fashion industry and how we as consumers can drive change.
Get Involved
