How to be a Fashion Revolutionary is a new short film produced by cultural media platform
Semaine, released during Fashion Revolution Week. Part One launches for Earth Day(Friday 22nd April), Part Two to follow on Friday 29th April.
The film is hosted by Sigrid, Norwegian singer and songwriter getting ready to launch hernew album How To Let Go. Sigrid takes viewers on a sustainable fashion journey with thehelp of Fashion Revolution, a global movement campaigning for a fashion industry thatvalues people and the planet over profit.
Sigrid is the voice of a generation of positive changemakers, constantly curious about
uncovering big problems and contributing to solutions in small but powerful ways. Featuring
Fashion Revolution co-founders Orsola de Castro and Carry Somers alongside fashion
revolutionaries from France, Germany, Guatemala, India and Sudan, How to be a Fashion
Revolutionary exposes the social and environmental impacts of what we wear and inspires
us all to take action.
‘In our 9th year of Fashion Revolution, we recognise our commitment as a global community
to collectively challenge and reimagine a fair fashion system for people and the planet. We
acknowledge that every individual act has made difference, from asking brands#WhoMadeMyClothes to writing to policy makers and demanding living wages for garment
makers. However there is still so much work to do. We are grateful to Semaine for theirsupport, for creating this film and to Sigrid for hosting this conversation, exploring andamplifying our purpose and why we need a fashion revolution’- Roxanne
Houshmand-Howell, Head of Communications at Fashion Revolution“I still remember when the Rana Plaza disaster happened. I couldn't stop reading the articles
about it, and was shocked at our disconnectedness to the realities of the industry thattouches our lives everyday–every time we get dressed in the morning, we are making achoice on impacting others lives and our planet. We hope this film, created with thewonderful support of Sigrid, a passionate voice of positive change for the next generation,and the dedicated and inspiring team at Fashion Revolution, serves as a resource that wecan come back to, time and again, to inspire us to take action no matter how great or small.”- Michelle Lu, Co-founder and CEO of Semaine– ENDS –NOTES TO EDITORS
