Fashion Revolution Week is coming up again, marking the 9th anniversary of the collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh (April 24th, 2013) and the deaths of over 1000 garment workers. With the pressures worldwide to produce fast, cheap clothing (that may not last very long before a garment is trashed), how do we know what steps will actually make a difference?
Explore a range of events hosted across Chicago (and online) all week, and get inspired all year round! Put some Spring in your style at a clothing swap, or "shop" your closet and join the #AIBI5x5Challenge. Check out the latest in Fashion Policy initiatives, and deepen your understanding of what Fair Trade means in Fashion.
Show the world that #LovedClothesLast, and that starts with the people who make them!
