Fashion revolution

On 24 April 2013, 1,133 people were killed and more than 2,500 injured when the Rana Plaza factory complex collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It wasn't the first, nor was it the last, but it's symptomatic of how little respect is given to the people who make our clothes and the environment they work in. Fashion Revolution decided enough was enough. It asks consumers to be curious, to find out who made our clothes — from who spun the threads, to who sewed them together and who grew the cotton in the first place. In more than 60 countries around the world, ens of thousands of people participate in Fashion Revolution Day on 24 April 2014. Find out more about the campaign by visiting the website, fashionrevolution.org. Then, follow on Instagram and Twitter to be inspired to speak out for those who are being treated unfairly for fashion. @fash_rev

 

Beulah

Beulah London is a luxury fashion brand based on British design, heritage and the empowerment of women.  Founded in 2010 by Natasha Rufus Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan, Beulah London was born out of a desire to design and produce beautiful clothes that empower and inspire the women who wear them, while being committed to raising awareness of the plight of women trapped by human slavery. The pair attend Alliance member church Holy Trinity Brompton, and revealed in idea magazine in 2012 their deep sense of God's calling them into this industry.  Alongside the label sits the Beulah Trust, a charitable foundation with a clear goal of supporting projects and initiatives that create sustainable livelihoods for victims of trafficking. Visit their website and follow the label on Instagram for a glimpse at their luxury clothes and the people who make them. @beulahlondon
