We believe in a fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit.
About us
Fashion Revolution is a global movement campaigning for a fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit. The organisation works in over 90 countries worldwide, with both an innovative and international approach to research, education and advocacy. Fashion Revolution was founded in 2014 by Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro with the aim to increase transparency in the fashion industry and stand in solidarity with the people who make our clothes. Since then, it has grown to be the world’s largest fashion activism movement, mobilising citizens, brands and policymakers to make positive change. The key pillars of change which Fashion Revolution pushes for include shifting the culture of fashion production and consumption, incentivising fashion brands and retailers to improve their practices and advocating for policy which holds the industry accountable for its impact. The global fashion industry is opaque, exploitative and environmentally damaging and desperately needs revolutionary change. Fashion Revolution wants to ignite a revolution to radically change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased. We believe transparency is the first step to transform the industry, and it starts with one simple question: who made my clothes? Join us by showing your clothing label and asking brands #whomademyclothes, to show that you care and demand better for the people who make our clothes. We want brands to respond by showing us the people in their supply chain with the hashtag #imadeyourclothes. We want to see the faces and hear the stories from thousands of makers, farmers and producers, and see an increasing number of brands make their supply chains more transparent.

New report from the UN calls for action on clothing waste 👗🗑️🌎 Last week, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) published new proposals to reduce the impacts of secondhand clothing exports on communities affected by waste colonialism including Chile, Ghana, Kenya, and Pakistan. The report claims that the EU is lagging behind on its efforts to stop this problem, with low-cost synthetic fibres and trade agreements leading to the exportation of too much poor quality used clothing.

Human Rights Watch calls on the ILO to denounce threats following the publication of their Freedom of Association Report. In June, the ILO published their report following a series of focus group discussions with union representatives in factories in Cambodia. The report revealed obstructions to freedom of association, including verbal intimidation, threats, harassment, and blacklisting, have “severely” affected independent unions’ ability to function. Now, Cambodian government-aligned unions are harassing and threatening legal action against the Center for Alliance of Labor and Human Rights (CENTRAL), a Cambodian labor rights organisation involved with the report. Human Rights Watch urges the global fashion industry to condemn these threats and engage with the report’s recommendations to improve the program. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dS2zb4vc

It’s #ClimateEmergencyDay 🌎🚨⏰ Today Climate Clocks around the world will tick down below 5 years at the same moment. We officially have less than five years to dramatically reduce fossil fuel emissions to stay below 1.5C degrees warming. Our clothes are fuelling environmental breakdown and global disaster. The fashion industry’s dependence on fossil fuels, used in everything from materials to manufacturing, is fanning the flames of the climate crisis 🏭🛢️🔥 Despite the urgency of this crisis, the 2023 Global #FashionTransparencyIndex found that only a third of major brands have a decarbonisation target. Even more alarmingly, only 9% disclose how they will support investment towards decarbonisation in their supply chain. To stop climate catastrophe, big fashion must make bold progress on systemic climate solutions. Brands, #DontbeFuelish Every minute, every second counts. It's #TimeToEndFossilFuels and #TimeToFundOurFuture We’ll be investigating how brands’ decarbonisations claims hold up in our new report #WhatFuelsFashion launching next week! 🚨 Sign up to our newsletter for early access: https://ow.ly/CVc750SrJyR #ClimateClock #ActInTime #4Years

Secondhand shopping is surging in the UK! 🛍️🇬🇧 A recent survey conducted by South Western Railway reveals that 77 percent of Britons have purchased pre-owned clothing in the past year, underscoring a growing trend towards sustainable fashion choices. Buying pre-loved, secondhand and vintage clothing is so important, both to reduce clothing waste and the demand for new clothes, and challenge the disposable culture of the current fashion system by making #LovedClothesLast ❤️ Do you shop secondhand-chic or experiment with vintage fashion?

Need a new outfit? Try the library! 📚 For 6 weeks last winter, Dover Public Library offered the city an alternative to buying new by lending clothes. Stella Martinez McShera, the clothing library’s creator, curated a selection of clothing typically worn once: holiday party dress, a wedding outfit, a ski trip ensemble. An inspiring spin on fashion rental, the project was designed to encourage a shift in behaviour, bridging the gap between people buying and borrowing in an environment people recognise. Initiatives like this are essential as we explore the concept of a circular fashion economy and develop community resources to help reduce consumption! ♻️ What do you think? Would you check out a new outfit from your local library? Read more: https://lnkd.in/e7-r7dKc
