MONEY FASHION POWER
Fashion Revolution Week 2022
Fashion Revolution Week is the annual campaign bringing together the world’s largest
fashion activism movement for seven days of action. This year, the campaign will run from
Monday 18th-Sunday 24th April.
The theme for Fashion Revolution Week 2022 is MONEY FASHION POWER. This theme
builds on the knowledge that the mainstream fashion industry relies upon the exploitation oflabour and natural resources. Wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few,and growth and profit are rewarded above all else. Big brands and retailers produce toomuch too fast, and manipulate us into a toxic cycle of overconsumption. Meanwhile, themajority of people that make our clothes are not paid enough to meet their basic needs, andalready feel the impacts of the climate crisis - which the fashion industry fuels.
As global citizens, we all have the power to take action. Now is the time to rise up together
for a regenerative, restorative and revolutionary new fashion system. Now is the time for aFashion Revolution.
“Poverty and textiles have been bound together throughout history. It is nocoincidence that if you look at words for being poor or in a precarious state you
will find a myriad of textile connotations—coming apart at the seams, fleeced,strapped, hanging by a thread—and today the struggle for human dignity andliving wages in the fashion industry remains constant and costly.” - Carry Somers, Cofounder and Global Operations Director, Fashion Revolution“We will expose the profound inequities and social and environmental abuses in
the fashion supply chains. From the uneven distribution of profits, tooverproduced, easily discarded fashion, to the imbalances of power that negate
inclusion. Meanwhile, inspiring new designers, thinkers and professionals all over
the world are challenging the system with solutions and alternative models.
Fashion Revolution Week is all of this, scrutinising and celebrating fashion,
globally and locally, wherever you are.” - Orsola de Castro, Co-founder and Global
Creative Director, Fashion Revolution
Throughout the week, we will be asking citizens to get involved by asking brands#WhoMadeMyClothes and #WhatsInMyClothes challenging policymakers to take action onliving wages. We invite people to tell their fashion love stories to make #LovedClothesLast.
There are also resources for brands and retailers, producers, trade unions and students andeducators to take part, including how to host their own event.
