Opaque fashion supply chains enable exploitation to thrive while obscuring who has the power to fix it.
Since Fashion Revolution started, people from all over the world have used their voice and their power to demand change from the fashion industry. And it’s working. The industry is starting to listen.
But the story is far from over. We are only just getting started. We can’t stop until every worker who makes our clothes is seen, heard and paid properly and the environments they live and work in are safe and clean. We can’t stop until the culture of consumption is changed and we learn to love and appreciate our clothes and the people that made them.
Here are ways you can get involved with Fashion Revolution Week 2021 (19- 25th April):

You can also share a selfie on social media during Fashion Revolution Week and ask the brands you’re wearing #WhoMadeMyClothes? to give a voice to all of the people around the world who work in the fashion supply chain.
You can also ask #WhatsInMyClothes? to challenge brands on the environmental impacts of the materials they use. Make sure you tag the brand(s) in your photo so they can see your question. You can download the free posters here and help share your post by tagging @fash_rev.
