SFD022: Why We All Must Ask: Who Made My Clothes?

Carry Somers is founder of Fashion Revolution - a global movement calling for greater transparency, sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry. If you’ve seen the “Who Made My Clothes” sign that millions of consumers, brands and producers have shared on social media, then you know what Fashion Revolution is doing. Simply put, they’re asking us to be more curious about where our clothes come from and who made them.

You will learn:

• The harsh truths about what goes on behind the scenes in many factories
• Why higher price doesn’t mean ethically made
• Why paying fair wages and creating safe workplaces for garment workers only increases your garment cost by $0.50
• Why being curious can have the biggest impact towards a more ethical supply chain
• What you can do - as just one person - to make a change and have a voice
