FASHION REVOLUTION WEEK IS HAPPENING 19-26 APRIL, 2022 SIGN UP

Fashion Revolution Week is the time when we come together as a global community to create a better fashion industry.

It centres around the anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse, which killed 1,138 people and injured many more on 24 April 2013. This year, as we mark 8 years since the tragedy, Fashion Revolution Week will focus on the interconnectedness of human rights and the rights of nature. Our campaign will amplify unheard voices across the fashion supply chain and harness the creativity of our community to explore innovative and interconnected solutions.

Fashion Revolution is a global movement with a collective vision for a fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit.

Fashion Revolution Week is our annual campaign bringing together the world’s largest fashion activism movement for seven days of action surrounding the anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse on 24th April 2013.

MONEY FASHION POWER The mainstream fashion industry is built upon the exploitation of labour and natural resources.

Wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few, and growth and profit are rewarded above all else. Big brands and retailers produce too much too fast, and manipulate us into a toxic cycle of overconsumption. Meanwhile, the majority of people that make our clothes are not paid enough to meet their basic needs, and already feel the impacts of the climate crisis - which the fashion industry fuels.

As global citizens, we all have the power to take action. This Fashion Revolution Week, join us in reimagining a just and equitable fashion system for people and the planet.

Now is the time to rise up together for a regenerative, restorative and revolutionary new fashion system.

Now is the time for a Fashion Revolution.

Make a poster In 2020, people went into lockdowns around the world and used the windows of their homes to share messages of inspiration and support for their neighbourhoods along with messages of awareness and activism.

We are encouraging students to use their windows and their creativity to spread the message that our clothes matter, and so do the people who made them.

Introduce your students to Fashion Revolution through the introductory presentations (see previous pages of this guide) and then have the students illustrate a picture or phrase to respond to the campaign and invite their communities to join the Fashion Revolution! Posters can be displayed in windows at home or in the corridors and classrooms at school.

Some ideas: • Create an illustration or make a collage from old fashion magazines that inspires people to think differently about the clothes they wear and buy.

• Illustrate a quote or statistic about the fashion industry.

• Write and illustrate your own slogan about your dream for the fashion industry. You can find inspiration in our manifesto.
