Fashion Revolution week happens every year in the week surrounding the 24th of April. This date is the anniversary of the 2013 Rana Plaza collapse, which killed 1,138 garment workers and injured another 2,500, making it the fourth largest industrial disaster in history.
On Fashion Revolution Week, we remember the victims and the lives lost, and we push for change in a fashion industry that exploits too many and abuses our environment. Fashion Revolution Week is a time to use your voice - by writing emails and sending letters, using your social media platform to push for change, and by taking part in collective action to imagine a new fashion system. Whether that means asking #WhoMadeMyClothes?, hosting a clothes swap, attending a panel discussion, or getting friends together for an informative movie night, #FashionRevolution Week is about taking action.
Due to the Coronavirus events for Fashion Revolution week are evolving. So Cal Fibershed will be participating, details to come.
