Fashion Revolution

Fashion Revolution is a coalition of consumers, designers, academics, writers, business leaders and government officials calling for systemic reform of the fashion supply chain. On April 24, 2016, coordinated teams in 80 countries around the world will challenge global fashion brands to demonstrate commitment to transparency across the length of the value chain, from farmers to factory workers, brands to buyers and consumers. Fashion Revolution Day 2016 marks the third anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster in Dhaka, Bangladesh, which killed 1,134, and injured over 2,500 people. With one-in-six people working in the global fashion supply chain today, fashion is the most labor-dependent industry on the planet. Yet, the people who make our clothes are hidden from us, often at their own expense, a symptom of the broken links across the fashion industry. Fashion Revolution believes in an industry that values people, the environment, creativity and profit in equal measure. Fashion Revolution Week 2016 marks a time when we can all come together to support that mission and implement steps to effect positive change.
