17. Fashion Revolution: Education, Community, and Transparency in the Fashion Industry

This week I am joined with two amazing leaders at Fashion Revolution on the US team, Kelly, who manages education and Madison who leads the community work.  Fashion Revolution is a nonprofit founded by Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro in the wake of the Rana Plaza disaster in 2013. Fashion Revolution has a global reach with teams all over the world and is a go to source for educating yourself on ethical practices and they have lead a multitude of campaigns, you may have seen people holding signs that say “who made my clothes?” Or “what’s in my clothes?” With many efforts towards creating more transparency in the fashion industry, the organization also releases an annual report called the Fashion Transparency Index where they rate the biggest fashion brands based on key indexes of disclosure, supply chain practices, and many other factors in ethical and sustainable practices. Fashion Revolution has many ways for anyone to get involved and they are opening up their ambassador program and looking for city leads so check out the link in bio to apply to get involved.
