Description
Fashion Revolution Week (FRW)is our annual campaign bringing together the world’s largest fashion activism movement for seven days of action. It is when we will collectively reimagine a just and equitable fashion system for people and the planet. All the partners are invited to act together helping spread the word and creating new strategies to reach other people and places. In Brazil we have built a large network that involves students, professors, fashion designers, brands, workers and many more, becoming one of the largest national campaigns to date, capable of creating a positive impact in the local fashion industry.
The FRW involves our entire Brazilian team. We have a general campaign coordinator to ensure standards. The project's annual strategy is created during team meetings and is implemented and developed by each sector such as the educational team, local representatives team and communication & diversity committees.
Currently, there is a lack of understanding and appreciation of the true cost of clothing. Price tags fail to reflect the social and environmental cost of production, while as consumers, we don’t always care for our clothes in the way we should. We need to scrutinise what it is we’re really paying for. Throughout Fashion Revolution Week, we’ll educate and inspire our local community on the real value of what we buy and wear.
FRW strategy is part of a global campaign created by Fashion Revolution CIC. When it arrives in Brazil, it passes through an annual review process with our local Brazilian team to assure that the campaign is aligned in context both with local issues and possible solutions.
We have grown to become the world’s largest fashion activism movement, mobilising citizens, brands and policymakers through research, education and advocacy. In Brazil we are a formal organisation which is an important global reference for fashion and sustainability issues. During our past campaigns we have reached high numbers of engagement and confirmed many relevant partnerships. This makes Fashion Revolution Brazil's campaign one of the most well recognised in the whole community.
