Five Ways to Get Involved in Fashion Revolution Week 2020
Since Fashion Revolution started, people from all over the world have used theirvoice and their power to demand change from the fashion industry. And it’s working.
The industry is starting to listen.
We’ve seen brands being open about where their clothes are made and the impact
their materials are having on the environment. We’ve seen manufacturers make theirfactories safer and more of the people in the supply chain being seen and heard.
Designers are now considering people and planet when creating new clothing.
Citizens are thinking before they buy.
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 theenvironments they live and work in are safe and clean. We can't stop until the cultureof consumption is changed and we learn to love and appreciate our clothes and thepeople that made them.
Here are five ways you can get involved with Fashion Revolution Week 2020 (2026th April):
1. ASK BRANDS #WHOMADEMYCLOTHES? & #WHATSINMYCLOTHES?
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 theworld 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 candownload our free posters here and help us share your post by tagging @fash_rev.
2. EMAIL A BRAND
As global consumption slows dramatically during the COVID-19 crisis, fashion
brands have been abandoning their orders with suppliers and ceasing to pay for inproduction goods, leaving factories unable to pay garment workers amid closures.
Together, we can tell brands to take responsibility for all workers in their supply
chains by sending our email template to the brands we buy from.
3. LOVE STORY
By keeping our clothes for longer, cherishing them and taking better care of what wealready own, we can dramatically reduce the environmental impact of our wardrobes.
Help us celebrate the beauty of what we already own by sharing your clothing lovestory this Fashion Revolution Week. Write a letter to your most lived-in jeans, sharean essay about the loungewear getting you through lockdown, or publish a poem
about the dress that’s been passed down from generation to generation. Use thehashtag #LovedClothesLast.
4. ATTEND A VIRTUAL EVENT
We’ll be streaming an exciting lineup of virtual events for Fashion Revolution Week,
making our globalised schedule now accessible to participants around the world.

5. READ UP
Our latest fanzine, ACTION REQUIRED: 10 GLOBAL GOALS THAT WILL CHANGEFASHION, is an investigation of the fashion industry's relationship with 10 of theUnited Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, including gender equality, decent
work and economic growth, responsible consumption & production, and climate
action. The issue takes on a new format, presenting each of the chosen SDGs in its
own mini issue, printed on paper that has been repurposed, recycled or would havepreviously been thrown away. Order your copy here.
We look forward to celebrating Fashion Revolution Week with you from 20thApril 2020.
