Fashion Revolution Germany e.V.

Fashion Revolution Germany e.V. is the German chapter of Fashion Revolution the global movement for a clean safe fair transparent and accountable fashion industry. The movement was founded in 2013 by Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro after the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory complex in Bangladesh which killed more than 1100 garment workers. Its central question Who made my clothes is now asked in over 90 countries.

As a registered non-profit association Fashion Revolution Germany brings this movement to Germany. Our members are designers consultants educators communication specialists and activists from across the fashion and textile sector and most of our work is voluntary. We connect consumers brands students researchers policymakers and civil society to make the social and environmental impacts of fashion visible and to show practical alternatives.

Our work includes:

• Coordinating Fashion Revolution Week in Germany each April around the Rana Plaza anniversary on 24 April
• Educational formats such as workshops panel discussions quizzes and projects with schools and universities
• Hands-on repair upcycling and swap formats that extend the life of clothing
• Projects that bring fashion professionals together around circularity such as Circular Berlin (Looptopia)
• Collaborations with fair-fashion brands retailers and other organisations

With a strong base in Berlin and activities across Germany Fashion Revolution Germany is a platform for knowledge exchange and collective action towards a fashion system that respects both people and planet.
