Show Notes
- What is Fashion Revolution week (formed after the Rana Plaza in Bangladesh collapsed on April 24th 2013, killing over 1000 garment workers and injuring over 2500).
- 10 years on, not enough has changed - a few initiatives like the Bangladesh Accord, but not enough.
- Crucial for people to understand that PEOPLE made their clothes (anecdote from my India travels of visiting the factories there).
- Encouraging people to feel confident asking brands who made their clothes.
- Focusing on only buying things that you will wear 30+ times, clothes swapping, altering your clothing, styling what you have & just generally readdressing their shopping habits in the name of Fashion Revolution week.
