We are Fashion Revolution.
We’re here to tell a different story about the clothes we wear.
We believe that positive change can happen if we all think differently about fashion and demand better. We want a cleaner, safer, fairer, more transparent and more accountable fashion and textiles industry. We want fashion to become a force for good. We believe in an industry that values people, the environment, creativity and profit in equal measure.
This week, we’ll be sharing our stories on the SHOWstudio Tumblr, from small designers who are shaking up the fashion industry as we know it, to the voices of garment workers we seldom hear. Stay tuned for a feed full of fashion’s greatest potential.

If the girl who made your skirt’s not paid
you cannot say it’s beautiful
if the pay is less than living wage
you cannot say it’s beautiful
if the coloured dyes now lie in rivers
poisoned fish, polluted waters
if there’s no sick pay, no toilet breaks
if the factories are in decay
no matter what the mirror says
or how stylish you might look today
you cannot claim it’s beautiful

A MANIFESTO FOR A FASHION REVOLUTION
1. Fashion provides dignified work, from conception to creation to catwalk. It does not enslave, endanger, exploit, overwork, harass, abuse or discriminate against anyone. Fashion liberates worker and wearer and empowers everyone to stand up for their rights.
