Fashion Revolution week 2021

Sew-organised-style

Fashion Revolution Week is the time when we come together as a global community to create a better fashion industry. It centres around the anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse, which killed 1,138 people and injured many more on 24 April 2013. This year, as we mark 8 years since the tragedy, Fashion Revolution Week will focus on the interconnectedness of human rights and the rights of nature. Our campaign will amplify unheard voices across the fashion supply chain and harness the creativity of our community to explore innovative and interconnected solutions.

We’ve published various podcasts where the community has taken action to keep textile workers safe and paid for their work.

This podcast was produced to showcase Ethical Clothing Australia's 10 year anniversary. Their first and only week focused on ethically accredited Australian manufacturers and locally-made textiles, clothing and footwear. It was our chance to celebrate the businesses, designers and importantly the skilled workers behind the garments made in Australia.
