About Fashion Revolution Netherlands

Fashion Revolution was founded in the aftermath of the Rana Plaza disaster in 2013. It has become the world's largest fashion activism movement. The Fashion Revolution movement mobilizes citizens, industry and policymakers around a shared vision: a global fashion industry that sustains and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit.

Fashion Revolution Week is when we come together as a global community to create a better fashion industry.

2021 Campaign - Fashion and Colonialism, the Past is still Present As work continues to build a fashion industry that works for everyone, it’s important to remember that colonial influences remain deeply embedded within it. The practices and injustices of the past feature heavily in the industry’s modus operandi – even today. Fashion chains still follow trade routes established 150 years ago during the European colonization. The very process of producing billions of garments each year is still based on the exploitation of both man and nature.

Fashion Revolution Netherlands hosted a series of online events to investigate and discuss the link between fashion and colonialism. At this milestone gathering, a fantastic line-up of speakers explored the unjust power dynamics that exist between formerly colonized and colonial nations. Re-watch the sessions and gain new insights on the unequal balance of power between fashion corporations and workers. Explore the resulting impact on nature and on every human being – be they Black, White, Indigenous or People of Colour (BIPOC).
