No. 9 Ethical fashionistas who inspire me. So pleased I got to catch up with my fab friend @duskdevi at @mskirstenlee 's sustainable textiles panel tonight. ❤️ A wise feminist wonder woman, Dusk is the powerhouse behind Australia's @pacificrunway & a passionate advocate for fashion industry diversity. Plus she's a sensational opshopper & cured me of my public speaking jitters with a few words of very well chosen advice (which she probs doesn't even remember). Honestly, it's this woman's fault that I talk so much... ❤️ #womeniadmire #fashioncommunity #pacificrunway #fashionrevolutionweek
How beautiful is this flatlay? THANK YOU @thekeepboutique - I had an engrossing chat with the London store's founder Kate about all things #sustainablefashion ❤️you can check it out of her website but mostly... following her Insta loveliness is good for the eyes 👀 ( & soul)
Posting these pictures makes my heart break but we must remember why we have this @fash_rev movement for a fairer, cleaner, more transparent fashion industry. In this day 5 years ago, the Rana Plaza garment factory complex in Dhaka, Bangladesh collapsed, killing 1138 people, injuring about 2,500 more. These images show the devastation. The first one, by photographer Rohat Ali Rajib is of victims' families holding up photos of their lost loved ones. The images of the labels, by Rashed Shumon, and scissors, by Khorshed Alam Rinku, bring the reality of the detritus into sharp relief - and show the connection with brands and clothes in our stores. The gutwrenching image of the graves, by Indraji Ghosh, shows where victims who could not be indentified ended up. So much sadness, but out of this we can & must build a different future. #fashionrevolutionweek #whomademyclothes
