The practices and injustices of the past feature heavily in the industry's modus operandi – even today. Fashion chains still follow trade routes established 150 years ago during the European colonization. The very process of producing billions of garments each year is still based on the exploitation of both man and nature.Fashion Revolution Netherlands hosted a series of online events to investigate and discuss the link between fashion and colonialism. At this milestone gathering, a fantastic line-up of speakers explored the unjust power dynamics that exist between formerly colonized and colonial nations. Re-watch the sessions and gain new insights on the unequal balance of power between fashion corporations and workers. Explore the resulting impact on nature and on every human being – be they Black, White, Indigenous or People of Colour (BIPOC). Contact us at: netherlands@fashionrevolution.org
