Fashion Revolution: Who Made My Clothes?

On April 24th, 2013, the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, collapsed, marking the fourth largest industrial disaster in history. This tragic event led to the loss of many lives and sparked a global movement to transform the fashion industry into a force for good. Thus, the Fashion Revolution was born, advocating for valuing the people who make clothes, the environment, creativity, and fair profit.

Surprising Facts About Fashion Waste

Did you know? The average British woman hoards £285 worth of clothes that she never wears—adding up to a staggering £30 billion of unworn clothes nationwide. In fact, a year’s worth of the UK’s unwanted clothes could fill Wembley Stadium, and amazingly, 95% of these discarded clothes can be recycled or upcycled.
