Come and Join the Fashion Revolution, Creating Your Own Style

It has been six months since a garment accessories supplier factory collapsed that killed 1133 people and injured more than 2500. Sadly the infamous Rana Plaza incident in Dhaka, Bangladesh is not an isolated case. The catastrophes in our garment accessories suppliers’ chain continue, for example a fire on October 9th in Dhaka killed at least nine garment workers. And this is just a little snapshot of the plethora of issues that plague the fashion space.

A global group of button supplier leaders, campaigners, press and academics, including myself, have joined forces to form Fashion Revolution Day and say enough is enough.

We believe in a fashion industry which values people, the environment, creativity and profits in equal measure, and it's everyone's responsibility to ensure that this happens. And we aren't just talking about luxury fashion or fast fashion but about the clothes that we all wear every day.

So please mark 24 April 2014 in your diaries as this is Fashion Revolution Day when we will come together to commemorate the first anniversary of the collapse of the garment accessories supplier, remember the victims of Rana Plaza and change our fashion future.

Fashion Revolution Day is an opportunity to celebrate fashion as a positive influence, raise awareness of the fashion industry's most pressing issues and show that change is possible, even in the zipper factory. It will rally the high street, the high end, the innovators, the media, the public, the activists, the makers, the wearers - and everyone in between. If you are wearing clothes whilst you are reading this, than you are exactly who we need to get involved.

For the first Fashion Revolution Day we simply ask, Who Made Your Clothes?

We want everybody to show their support for better connections and transparency across the fashion supply chain, including garment accessories supplier. And so our CALL TO ACTION on 24th April 2014 is for everyone to wear an item of clothing inside out, to take a picture and then post it, instagram, facebook and tweet it like crazy. Fashion revolution is exactly decided by you and your action. Everyone can create his or her own fashion attitude and style.
