FASHION Revolution Week is an annual campaign bringing together the world's largest fashion activism movement.
Fashion Revolution Week 2024 will mark ten years of Fashion Revolution, with ten days of action, bringing together communities around the world through a series of engaging local events in 75 countries. This year, the campaign will run until April 24th.
The theme for Fashion Revolution Week 2024 is "How to be a Fashion Revolutionary". This year's theme invites the global community to share a decade of learning on what it means to be part of the revolution, including their achievements, advice and hopes for the future.
"This year's theme invites us to step into our potential to be a force for change, for us to collectively bring forth a sustainable and ethical fashion industry that is healthier for our planet, the people who make our clothes and our own relationship with fashion," says Fashion Revolution Malaysia country coordinator Melissa Tan.
Tan adds that everyone has a part to play in building a fashion industry that puts people and the planet first but getting started can seem daunting. That's why Fashion Revolution is inviting everyone to get involved with this year's campaign as global citizens, whether they're students, brands, producers or just someone interested in transforming the fashion industry for the better.
In Malaysia, Fashion Revolution Week will be hosted in conjunction with Green Day Out at Gaya HQ, for a day of action on April 20.
Activities include "Mend In Public Day". The idea is to stitch in protest against disposable fashion. Amidst the activities, participants will repair their slightly worn but still loved pieces, from torn pockets to split seams, sparking conversations on how to make loved clothes last.
Clothes swaps, community circles and workshops, crafted around the intention of building a culture of slow and circular fashion will also be held.
