FOS x MBFW Talk: Activism —‘I can, therefore I am’ – Simone Weil

Fashion and activism go hand in hand. The fashion industry impacts on the environment and society in so many ways, and the two are completely interlinked. The pandemic has accelerated anxiety about climate change, and has highlighted the fundamental inequity of the system. We are all connected, but why must the worker at the bottom of the chain always bear the most impact? How do we activate change from within the industry?
