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.

Action: Say it in your language!

We are inviting all producers to translate “I Made Your Clothes” into your national languages, indigenous languages and local dialects, because we want to hear you in your own words.

You can write, paint, sew or embroider a poster, or use the downloadable font on the website here, and then post a photograph of you and your fellow producers holding it on social media.

Use the hashtag #IMadeYourClothes so we can find your posts, and create the hashtag in your own language.

An inside look at an all female weaving cooperative in Kenya Dorcas Ndinda Meet Dorcas Ndinda, aged 48, a part time farmer and green grocer, and the leader of her village weavers’ cooperative.

When I am leading a project and it is flourishing and the lives of the members are positively impacted, I am happy. Weaving, as well, makes me happy, especially when I look back and see how much my family and I relied on the income from the sales of baskets that I wove.
