PRESS RELEASE
23rd February 2021
Fashion Revolution

At Fashion Revolution, we believe in the power of our voices to shake structures, to hold companies to accountand to transform the system. We also recognise that visibility is an essential first step in giving the people who
make our clothes the the respect and remuneration they deserve. When we hear the stories and see the facesof everyone involved in the fashion supply chain, we are better equipped to take action.
Fashion Revolution exists to amplify the experiences of producers across the value chain and we have beencelebrating producers through our #IMadeYourClothes hashtag since the early days of our campaign. ThisFashion Revolution Week, we will be showcasing the diversity of the people involved in creating the garments
we buy, by encouraging brands and producers around the world to participate in our ‘I Made Your Clothes’
campaign by holding up posters written in their local languages and dialects.
For too long, the countries of the world have been looted for corporate benefit. Commercial ventures havebeen developed through biopiracy, natural materials appropriated without benefit sharing, indigenous land
despoiled, and traditional textiles appropriated without consent, credit or compensation. Structural racism still
underpins how the fashion industry works. Companies may be starting to recognise the importance of diversity
in their hiring practices and communication strategies, but most are failing to address the deep structuraltransformation required. We cannot allow the rights of the people who make our clothes around the world tocontinue being eroded. Now is the time for action.
Partnering with the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO), our conversations, webinars, stories and worker
profiles will come together to introduce a new dominant cultural narrative where transparency, respecting
human rights and conserving the environment becomes a driving force within the fashion industry. Ourpartnership with WFTO allows us to share stories from a global network of producers who follow fair tradepractices and to showcase how the fashion industry can empower people and sustain natural resources
through small-scale and artisan production models.
From Monday 19th – Sunday 25th April 2021, Fashion Revolution will bring people together from around theworld to amplify unheard and marginalised voices and work together to explore interconnected solutions.
Fashion Revolution will be sharing the stories of those affected by change, with those who are asking forchange, to pressure those who need to change.

In summary Fashion Revolution 2021 will:● Amplify unheard voices: Those of supply chain producers, workers and communities affected by thefashion industry, giving them more visibility and providing a platform for their stories.
● Widen community participation: Mobilising people and their communities around the world to speak up,come together and take action to create the systemic change that is urgently needed across the fashionindustry.

If we work together, we believe we will see a future global fashion industry that conserves and restores theenvironment and values people over growth and profit.
Now is the time for a fashion revolution.
