Fashion Revolution / Who Made My Clothes?
The Fashion Revolution is a global movement whose mission is to unite people and organisations to work together towards radically changing the way our clothes are sourced, produced, and consumed, so that our clothing is made in a safe, clean, and fair way. They believe that collaboration across the whole value chain — from farmer to consumer — is the only way to transform the industry.
They organize the Fashion Revolution Week: the #whomademyclothes campaign in April, which falls on the anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse. During this week, brands and producers are encouraged to respond with the hashtag #imadeyourclothes and to demonstrate transparency in their supply chain.
