Founded in response to the Rana Plaza factory collapse in 2013, Fashion Revolution Week asks a simple but powerful question: who made your clothes? From fast fashion’s hidden costs to the principles of slow fashion, this episode explores how both shoppers and makers can make more thoughtful choices.

Whether you’re buying, making, or somewhere in between, this is a grounded conversation about responsibility, awareness, and doing better over time.

Better fashion choices are not about getting it perfect. It's about asking questions and slowing down enough to make a different decision. Whether you’re a shopper or a maker, those small shifts add up, and they matter more than you think.
