Today is Fashion Revolution Day and I'm getting ready to give away a bunch of clothes and donate them to charity. It's the four year anniversary of the Rana factory collapse so a good day to light a candle and remember the people who died in an event which truly impacted the fashion industry in a visceral way. The 2013 Savar building collapse or Rana Plaza collapse was a structural failure that occurred on Wednesday, 24 April 2013 in the Savar Upazila of Dhaka, Bangladesh, where an eight-story commercial building named Rana Plaza collapsed. The search for the dead ended on 13 May 2013 with a death toll of 1,129. It is considered the deadliest garment-factory accident in history, as well as the deadliest accidental structural failure in modern human history. It's also the reason I can't buy fast fashion anymore - many of those who died were making cheap throwaway items. Sad to miss @Safia_Minney's @SlaveToFash book launch party tonight (deadlines are killers ?) but proud of all the eco warriors making a difference around the world today!
