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.

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

Is the EU about to give synthetic fibre makers a competitive advantage? 🛢️⚖️🌱 The EU's proposed Green Claims Directive has been designed to to stop greenwashing. This regulation is sorely needed as brands continue to mislead their customers with false sustainability claims. But a large group of farmers and their supporters claim that the policy unfairly favours synthetics and “misrepresents natural fibres as harmful to the environment”.

Shoppers want fashion from sustainably managed forests but brands are letting them down 🌲 The survey revealed that 76% of consumers would be concerned if forest-derived fibres in their clothes had a negative environmental impact such as deforestation, biodiversity loss and climate change. However, the 2023 Global #FashionTransparencyIndex found that just 12% of brands currently publish time-bound measurable commitments to zero deforestation. It's unsurprising then that only 25% of respondents believe that fashion brands are effectively addressing their concerns. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eZTKGFrW
