This is why it is important that Fashion Revolution 2020 takes place. Big. Loud. Digital. And with the call for the relevant fashion brands to take responsibility and pay outstanding payments to protect workers within the supply chain.

Although Fashion Revolution calls for an end to over-consumption, it is clear that the worst-paid people in the fashion supply chain will be hit hardest in the face of the Corona-related production stop.

In around 1,089 clothing factories, orders worth around 1.5 billion US dollars were cancelled due to the outbreak of the corona virus. Many factories were closed indefinitely. Millions have already lost their jobs due to the virus. Some workers received less than one month’s salary in severance. Many others have received nothing at all.

What kind of world do we want to see after the end of this crisis?

If we do nothing, the fashion industry will simply go back to business as usual when it’s all over. Even if we are behind closed doors, social distancing is the order of the day: we can still use our voice to ask #WhoMadeMyClothes and urge fashion brands to take responsibility, make payments on loans and fulfil orders placed, to protect workers in their supply chain as much as their own employees, especially during the current global crisis.

#whomademyclothes. Be part of Fashion Revolution 2020

Turn your clothes inside out, show your label and shoot a selfie during the week of April 20th to 26th. Then post the image on Instagram: Tag the appropriate label and ask the question #WhoMadeMyClothes. Some labels react to this. And the answer should be very exciting!

In the special exhibition of the Munich City Museum, the history of shoes and their significance for society is shown.

On Fashion Revolution Day, Georgina Phillips (Orte des Wandels) and Samira Nilius (be awear) will provide insights into this important topic in an Instagram Live broadcast directly from the Stadtmuseum, which could not be more relevant at a time of a global pandemic.
