Be Curious. Find Out. Do Something.

Fashion Revolution Malta forms part of the global movement of Fashion Revolution, which is present in over 100 countries. Their mission is to educate and engage customers (and all parts of the supply chain) about the social and environmental impacts caused by the fashion industry at large and how their individual choices act as a vote that they wish to see in the world. The aim is to engage in the conversation, demand that the fashion industry become fair, clean & transparent, while also considering circular economy principles.

From the 19th till the 25th of April, Fashion Revolution Malta is back for the fourth year running. With many topics to talk about, this year's focus is predominantly on two campaigns:

#WhoMadeMyClothes

Aims to give consumers a platform to demand that the brand that they support make their supply chain more transparent. The campaign encourages consumers to make their voices heard and put pressure on their brands through social media in 3 easy steps.

This pressure on brands, that is rapidly increasing, gives a space to brands to work towards cleaning up their supply chains while also engage in transparency, showing us #WhoMadeMyClothes by replying with #IMadeYourClothes.

#LovedClothesLast

This campaign is set out to shed light on the importance of making our clothes last longer as another way of reducing the alarmingly high environmental impact caused by the fashion industry.

In the last year, Malta has seen a huge increase in alternative shopping options, with 2nd hand or vintage clothing becoming more and more accessible – allowing the lifetime of our clothes to be extended, and therefore avoid being dumped in landfill. Raising awareness on repairing & maintaining our clothes is another way of making our #LovedClothesLast, prolonging their use life while also avoiding landfill dumping.

Events at Fashion Revolution Week Malta 2021

This year, during the Fashion Revolution Week, there will be a mix of things happening organized by the Non-Profit Organization as well as other events organized by the local community.

We have already seen an IG Live by Earth Guardians Malta, who have talked about fast fashion against sustainability. The interesting discussion also included second hand clothing and its potential positive impact on the environment, as well as the power of activism to bring about change

Clothes Swap

Prolonging the use life of our clothes by swapping them

Lady Kitt Vintage and MSPCA Sliema have teamed up to host an online vintage and second-hand clothes swap. Both Lady Kitt and MSPCA have selected several pieces from their own respective collections, and will be providing pictures of each item together with the approximate size and value. Customers interested in a specific item can get in touch via DM and provide an image of their own shirt/dress that they would like to exchange for the item on offer, and they’ll take care of the swap.
