This month in Bangladesh there has been both a historic worker victory, and a devastating factory fire that killed seventeen people. Together these events reveal a seismic crossroads for Bangladesh's garment workers.

London Fashion Week Orcas flip yachts.

Sinking these symbols of obscene greed and reclaiming their home as a billionaire-free zone. We want this in fashion: Redistribute wealth and power into the hands of the millions of people who make our clothes.

👗The top 10 fast fashion brands raked in $13.9 billion in profit in 2024 - while paying the workers who make their clothes poverty wages.

We're at London Fashion Week today to say: tax extreme wealth. Pay living wages now.

A lo largo del libro, @tansyhoskins.org recurre a Karl Marx para explicar cómo el capitalismo convierte la moda en mercancía, símbolo y deseo, pero también en instrumento de explotación. Así, la pregunta que atraviesa toda la obra es: ¿y si la moda pudiera existir sin capitalismo?

«La moda es una forma de producción social [...].
El objetivo de este libro es descoser y desmitificar la industria de la moda y su ideología, no alimentar su mística cuidadosamente cultivada [...].
La moda es un concepto puramente europeo indistinguible del capitalismo».

Via @tansyhoskins.org :"In May NEXT announced record level profits at its AGM. A few days later, NEXT shut down a factory that it owns in Sri Lanka citing ‘high costs’ – plot twist, the factory was unionised. 1,416 workers were fired by WhatsApp message. No notice." tansyhoskins.org/summer-of-20...

Listening to the "anticapitalist book of fashion" by @tansyhoskins.org and wondering why I missed it for so long 😭 I'm at chapter 1 and I've already swore on the grave of my beloved cat that I will only buy small brands clothes and shoes from now on, or not buying nothing at all 🫡

Nepal is on the front line of the fast fashion crisis, caught between two manufacturing giants - China and India - this small nation is becoming an unintended dumping ground for fast fashion’s overproduction.

London’s Nakba protest last weekend - 500,000 people marching to say Stop the Genocide and Free Palestine.
A group of people is sitting on a low wall next to a person holding a large sign with a message that reads 'You may run out of ways to erase us but we will never run out of ways to exist. Allah Akbar.' A group of people are gathered at a protest holding signs, including one that says "Starmer Stop Arming Israel FFS," surrounded by Palestinian flags. A crowd is gathered with flags and signs, including one sign that says 'Israel blocks aid to Gaza = children starve' A giant, decorated model of a Palestinian horse stands in the middle of the demonstration by Waterloo Bridge in London

What greater monument could there be for the 1,138 people who died at Rana Plaza, than for the Bangladeshi garment industry to become a light in the darkness, a beacon to the world rebuilt with safe factories, trade unionism and full workers rights. #RanaPlazaNeverAgain

The devastating earthquake in Myanmar on March 28 has worsened an already dire humanitarian situation for millions of people in the country.

The military junta should allow immediate access to humanitarian aid for survivors and lift restrictions that impede emergency response.
