Just as the name implies, the worldwide movement coined the Fashion Revolution Day operates on a single-minded focus to alter the face of fashion through providing an understanding of the fundamentals of sustainable and responsible fashion. We’re assuming this means the movement isn’t a fan of fur coats.
A fashion awareness celebration that will hit local shores this 21st of April starting 7pm at Impact Hub KL, it intends to educate the masses that every time you buy new clothes, you could be contributing to one of the world’s most polluting industries. Not only is fashion killing our planet, the industry is abusing the basic human rights of those who make our clothes.
The event will showcase the screening of a documentary film called ‘The True Cost’ that highlights the effects of fast fashion on people and the planet. To gain entrance to the film screening, all you have to do is bring one or more items of used, but clean, clothing. There will also be a “Preloved Clothing Swap” where you can trade your pre-loved clothing, shoes and accessories for free in support of the movement and its cause.
