More than 1,000 garment workers lost their lives when the Rana Plaza factory building collapsed near Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2013. More than 2,000 people were injured, some so badly that they can no longer work today. These figures prove once again that a revolution in the fashion industry is imperative. The non-profit organization fashionrevolution.org calls for Fashion Revolution Day every year on April 24th. Fashion Revolution is a global movement for more transparency in the fashion industry. On April 24, all campaign supporters wear their clothing inside out. It's about setting an example for more transparency and better working conditions in the textile industry.
Sure, the fashion brands decide whether they pay attention to socially fair working conditions at their producers - but you decide which brand you trust. That's why everyone has the power to make a positive difference with their own (buying) behavior - 365 days a year! Our tip: see the dark side of the fashion industry for yourself. For example with the impressive film "The True Cost - The Price of Fashion." And then decide what you want to do for a fairer (fashion) world.
- in sustainable fashion that will accompany you for many years.
- Find out and buy from manufacturers who ensure transparency and fairness.
- Challenge your favorite brands to commit to high social standards.
- On April 24th, wear your clothes inside out and post a photo with the hashtag #fashionrevolutionday and #whomademyclothes.

Take to the streets with us and the Frankfurt Fashion Movement team on April 23, 2022. The start is at 2.30 p.m. on Rathenauplatz in Frankfurt. What we do? We form a symbolic human chain with 55 people. Why 55? Because an average of 55 people along the entire value chain are involved in the production of a t-shirt. With this we want to show how strongly the price of a t-shirt is decoupled from the value of the work and the resources.
With our campaign we support the Fashion Revolution Week 2022.
