Revolutionising the fashion industry

Unpicking the fashion industry.

Hosting this six-parter is Kate Burnett, a journalist specialising in the creative industries. In this series Kate talks to six of the leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators and activists who are influencing fashion’s future.

Unpicking as it does the world of fashion, A Stitch in Time fittingly airs in fashion month, as New York, London, Paris and Milan hit the catwalk. But since this is an industry slammed for promoting the overconsumption of clothing, as you might expect, we at THUNK aren’t celebrating its XS, but instead we lay bare the issues and put the future of sustainable fashion in the spotlight.

Fashion Revolution is the world’s largest Fashion activism campaign and the perfect antidote to London Fashion Week and the many other global fashion events that sustain fast fashion and the overconsumption of fashion. 

Carry Somers was inspired to launch Fashion Revolution 10 years ago, following the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh. In December 2022 she co-founded League of Artisans, an NGO set up to empower and advocate for skilled craftspeople who work with their hands to make functional or decorative objects linked to their culture, community, region or traditions.
