The motto of this global movement is to unite people and organisations to work together towards radically changing the way our clothes are sourced, produced and consumed, so that our clothing is made in a safe, clean and fair way
Fashion Revolution Week is our #whomademyclothes campaign in April, which falls on the anniversary of the Rana Plaza factory collapse, which killed 1138 people and injured many more on 24th April 2013 in Bangladesh.During this week, brands and producers are encouraged to respond with the hashtag #imadeyourclothes and to demonstrate transparency in their supply chain. And fashion industry that values people, the environment, creativity and profit in equal measure
Nepali fashion industry is on its growing stage. The quality of work, designs, creativity is getting better day by day. We have that potential to make a mark to international level. Nepal is rich in craftsmanship, hardship and unique ethical creations of textile. The artisans involved in the process of in-building any apparel has direct impact to the development of the fashion industry of Nepal. The hardworking artisans- farmers, spinners weavers, knitters, tailors are the one who gives life to a creative design. World is united to fashion revolution so as by the country team of four- Bini Bajracharya, Simran Silpakar, Sunaina Shrestha and Anouk Tamrakar successfully conducted the Fashion Revolution 2018 in Kathmandu.
The companies participated are directly working with the artisans so that their livelihood will be improved & on other hand their ability and talent could be commercialized. They are equally working for the rights of the labour and the transparency of the works of labours. Sabah Nepal, Sibhori Nepal, Maya Handicrafts, Kallisto Designs, Hattihatti, Karigarh, Muskan-handmadeinnepal, Aamo Nepal, Khushi Baskets and local women’s handicraft were few companies actively working in different parts of Nepal for the artisans and growth of Nepali fashion industry
