I don't know.
- and that's where the worry lies.
Fashion Revolution Day brings to light our state of oblivion.
The demand for fast fashion has reached such a speed that the standards of working conditions have been sacrificed in order to satisfy the all important consumer.
When fulfilling fast fashion desires, the consumer fails to consider anything but the price of the garment and what they can wear it with; they fail to spare a thought for its process, and just how it got to the hands they hold it in.
1) BE VOCAL
Pinpoint fast fashion retailers and interact with them on social media asking that all important question.
2) BE SOCIAL
Turn your clothes inside out, expose the label, tag the companies and wait for your answer.
3) BE FRUGAL
Do what Viv says - invest in your pieces wisely, be particular and consider ethically sound brands.

Revolution doesn't have to entail hourly protests, countless hours of chanting and days of crafting placards from old bed frames, but what it does entail is a change and a sense of consideration.
But, what can I do?

A change of thought can be just as powerful as a stampede on black friday.
