Fashion is a force to be reckoned with. It celebrates, provokes, and entertains. And, from April 24th 2014, it’s going to do even more. Because Fashionrevolution.org is turning fashion into a force for good.

On 24th April 2013, 1133 peo­ple were killed and over 2500 were in­jured when the Rana Plaza fac­tory com­plex col­lapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh. So­cial and en­vi­ron­men­tal cat­a­stro­phes in our fash­ion sup­ply chains con­tinue.

Fash­ion Rev­o­lu­tion Day says enough is enough.

The goal of the Fash­ion Rev­o­lu­tion Day is to in­form and raise aware­ness so as be­fore buy­ing our clothes, to think about the sto­ries of the peo­ple who make them.

What we can do?

To im­ple­ment our plan for a bet­ter world of fash­ion, this year we will celebrate to­gether on Thurs­day, 24th April, at Nixon Bar (Ag­isi­laou 61, Ker­ameikos) at 20.30, wear­ing a gar­ment in­side out and pose a sim­ple ques­tion: "Who made our clothes?" # in­sid­e­out

How:

1) Wear an out­fit from the in­side out, pho­to­graph your­self and share on so­cial media: # in­sid­e­out. This will be livestream­ing world­wide.

2) Start the "rev­o­lu­tion" by hon­or­ing the vic­tims and get in­formed about the major chal­lenges at the fash­ion in­dus­try.

3) Spread this mes­sage to your friends and col­leagues.  

Dress­code: In­side Out Ticket: A ripped label from any gar­ment en­sures you a spe­cial price "in­side out sig­na­ture cock­tail".
