Ever hear the news and feel utterly powerless to make a difference? In a day and age that seems crime, confusion, and terrorism are running rampant how do we initiate positive conversations of change and practical act on them? Here’s how you can take a stand this Fashion Revolution Day. What is Fashion Revolution Day?
4 years ago, on April 24th, the Rana Plaza Factory collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh, killing 1,134 people and injuring 2,500 more in one day. The tragedy shook the industry and the world, as suddenly a light shined on the awful working conditions half the world endures to fulfill our need for cheap fast fashion. Fashion Revolution Organization formed and created Fashion Revolution Day, as a way to commemorate the tragedy as well as rally the world around the need for ethically made fashion.
