About Fashion Revolution Week

Fashion Revolution Week is a global awareness week that asks people to think about who makes their clothes and under what conditions. It was created to remember the Rana Plaza factory disaster and to push the fashion industry toward greater transparency, fair labour, and more sustainable practices. It’s a week of encouraging all of us consumers to be mindful of our recourses and where we can reuse, mend, and slow down the consumption of materials.
