FFF – The Future of Fair Fashion
Humanity House fact: Every day 30 million people around the world are exploited in the clothes’ production industry. Inhuman work conditions and large-scale disasters involve deaths of hundreds of people. This prompted six talented artists and designers to search for the ways to add some honesty and humanity into fashion industry and produce sustainable and fair fashion. To present their projects, they used Fair Fashion Lab created in the premises of Humanity House.
In the lab, Arne Hendriks pledges for conscious buying. He urges you to ask (and think) about the conditions in which the clothes you are buying are being produced.
