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.

The people who make our clothes are on the front lines of a crisis they didn’t cause 🪡🌎 The fashion industry has made billions by exploiting workers and extracting immense wealth from the countries least responsible for climate breakdown. Now these communities are facing the worst impacts of the climate crisis, risking their lives to make our clothes. It’s a humanitarian crisis that cannot be ignored any longer. Big fashion must use its powerful economic influence to fuel the clean energy transition rather than placing greater burden onto their suppliers. Yet our report #WhatFuelsFashion found that just 6% of brands tell us how much they’re spending on renewable energy annually. We believe that big fashion can pay its own bills. That’s why we are calling on brands to invest at least 2% of their revenues into a clean, fair and just energy transition💰 📣 Take action on #WorldHumanitarianDay 📣 ✉️ Send an email to the world’s largest fashion brands at: https://lnkd.in/esTX54RP #WhatFuelsFashion #DontBeFuelish

How can suppliers navigate the evolving legislation landscape? 🏭 While binding legislation is an important step towards industry-wide transparency and sustainability, fashion suppliers may find it difficult to obtain this data. Big brands have made ambitious promises for sustainability, but the work of addressing the fashion industry’s impact disproportionately falls to their suppliers. To help bridge this gap, brands must take responsibility for their supply chains and collaborate with each other to implement solutions. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eXGXz6hQ

Fashion Revolution stands in solidarity with the people of Bangladesh and urges the global fashion industry to support workers through this uncertain period. Brands sourcing in Bangladesh must ensure that the people who make our clothes are supported through this crisis and receive full wages through factory closures. https://lnkd.in/egAaSh7J

Our clothes are fuelling environmental breakdown and global disaster. Big fashion is not just destroying the future, it’s destroying the present 🚨 The fashion industry is one of the richest on the planet, but it’s also one of the most polluting. From farming fibres to finishing fabrics to powering factories, fossil fuels are found at every stage of clothing production. Instead of investing in clean, renewable energy, brands are shifting the costs onto their suppliers and burdening them with fixing a problem they didn’t create. Production countries are least responsible but most affected and workers are already paying the price of climate change; it’s time for brands to cough up 💸 We believe that big fashion can pay its own bills. That’s why we are calling on brands to invest at least 2% of their annual revenues into a clean, fair and just energy transition. Let’s tell brands to put their money where their emissions are! 📣 ✊🏽 Take action ✊🏽 📧 Use our email a brand tool to send a message to the world’s largest fashion brands 📲 Download resources from our website to spread the word 👋 Tag your friends to join our call Find everything you need to take action at https://lnkd.in/dZFZvmR #WhatFuelsFashion #DontBeFuelish

🏊🏽♀️🏅 Why should we ask #WhoMadeMyClothes during the Paris Olympics? The #OlympicGames are an international spectacle, bringing together nations and millions of people in the name of sports and respect for different cultures. Every athlete's uniform, every piece of clothing worn by spectators, and every souvenir sold tell a story that's often overlooked. Behind each of these items are workers, often in countries in the #GlobalSouth, working in poor conditions for unfair wages. That's why raising this question during the Olympics isn't random. With the world's eyes on this event, we have a unique opportunity to draw attention to the urgent need for #change in the fashion industry! 🗣️ We know that the exploitation in this industry isn't accidental: it's the result of global economic and trade policies that prioritize profit over human and environmental well-being. Often, states and multinational companies in the sector turn a blind eye to labor rights violations in exchange for foreign investments and growth at any cost. In this context, major international #fashion brands, many of which come from countries in the #GlobalNorth — including sports brands that gain significant visibility and power during the games —, outsource production to countries where labor laws are weak or non-existent, maximizing their profits at the expense of human dignity. So, during the Paris Olympics, we need to demand that these major brands be transparent about their #supplychains and adopt fair and responsible labor practices. This demand is also a call for #SocialJustice for fashion workers, questioning the socioeconomic inequalities perpetuated by this production logic between the Global North and South, in front of the whole world. Big brands, we want to know: #WhoMadeMyClothes for the Olympics? - Text by me, for Fashion Revolution Brasil 🇧🇷 PT Version: https://lnkd.in/eRNvgtQS

New report from the UN calls for action on clothing waste 👗🗑️🌎 Last week, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) published new proposals to reduce the impacts of secondhand clothing exports on communities affected by waste colonialism including Chile, Ghana, Kenya, and Pakistan. The report claims that the EU is lagging behind on its efforts to stop this problem, with low-cost synthetic fibres and trade agreements leading to the exportation of too much poor quality used clothing.

Human Rights Watch calls on the ILO to denounce threats following the publication of their Freedom of Association Report. In June, the ILO published their report following a series of focus group discussions with union representatives in factories in Cambodia. The report revealed obstructions to freedom of association, including verbal intimidation, threats, harassment, and blacklisting, have “severely” affected independent unions’ ability to function. Now, Cambodian government-aligned unions are harassing and threatening legal action against the Center for Alliance of Labor and Human Rights (CENTRAL), a Cambodian labor rights organisation involved with the report. Human Rights Watch urges the global fashion industry to condemn these threats and engage with the report’s recommendations to improve the program. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dS2zb4vc

It’s #ClimateEmergencyDay 🌎🚨⏰ Today Climate Clocks around the world will tick down below 5 years at the same moment. We officially have less than five years to dramatically reduce fossil fuel emissions to stay below 1.5C degrees warming. Our clothes are fuelling environmental breakdown and global disaster. The fashion industry’s dependence on fossil fuels, used in everything from materials to manufacturing, is fanning the flames of the climate crisis 🏭🛢️🔥 Despite the urgency of this crisis, the 2023 Global #FashionTransparencyIndex found that only a third of major brands have a decarbonisation target. Even more alarmingly, only 9% disclose how they will support investment towards decarbonisation in their supply chain. To stop climate catastrophe, big fashion must make bold progress on systemic climate solutions. Brands, #DontbeFuelish Every minute, every second counts. It's #TimeToEndFossilFuels and #TimeToFundOurFuture We’ll be investigating how brands’ decarbonisations claims hold up in our new report #WhatFuelsFashion launching next week! 🚨 Sign up to our newsletter for early access: https://ow.ly/CVc750SrJyR #ClimateClock #ActInTime #4Years
