1. FASHION REVOLUTION.

2. Fashion Revolution is a global movement calling for greater transparency,
sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry.
We want to unite the fashion industry and ignite a revolution to radically
change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased, so that what
the world wears has been made in a safe, clean and fair way.
WE ARE

4. FASHION REVOLUTION’S
PATHWAYS OF SYSTEMIC
CHANGE.

5. WHO MADE
MY CLOTHES?
Since Fashion Revolution started, people
from all over the world have used their
voice and their power to tell brands that
things must change. And it’s working. The
industry is starting to change. More
brands are being open about where their
clothes are made. More manufacturers are
making their factories safer. More
producers are being seen and heard.

13. OTHER RESPONSES TO
CHANGING THE FASHION
SYSTEM.

14. ACT
(ACTION
COLLABORATION
TRANSFORMATION)
ACT is a ground-breaking agreement between
global brands and retailers and trade
unions to transform the garment, textile
and footwear industry and achieve living
wages for workers through collective
bargaining at industry level linked to
purchasing practices.

15. MAKE
FASHION
CIRCULAR
Make Fashion Circular drives collaboration
between industry leaders and other key
stakeholders to create a textiles economy
fit for the 21st century. Its ambition is
to ensure clothes are made from safe and
renewable materials, new business models
increase their use, and old clothes are
turned into new. This new textiles economy
would benefit business, society, and the
environment.

16. SPINDYE
By adding the pigment to
the spinning solution,
prior to extrusion, the
pigment becomes a
homogenous part of the
fiber. The dirty and
environmentally hazardous
process of dyeing is
eliminated from the
production process.

17. REGENERATIVE
AGRICULTURE
“Agriculture really represents the best
chance that we have of mitigating and
ending the climate crisis.. The science is
saying that if we converted all
industrialized agriculture to
regenerative, organic practices, we could
sequester all the world’s carbon”
Rose Marcario, Patagonia
