Green This Season - Digital Conscious Fashion Magazine 2014 - #1 | Page 4

3 EDITOR’S letter This years first edition is all about the Fashion Revolution 2014, how could it not be. For the last years we, at greenthisseason, have been changing our own attitude towards fashion. We make conscious choices when it comes to buying fashion, we buy less, we buy better, and we support our designers. Long before this revolution we knew, like so many with us, that the way we abuse fashion couldn’t go on much longer. Inspired by this global event, we used this opportunity to ask our own designers “Who made your clothes”? We already knew that they are all very conscious and very much involved with every aspect of their production, but even we were surprised at how much effort they really go through, to stay honest, transparent and fair on every single level of their production. You can read their stories in this issue. Carry Somers took to action; she is asking the entire world to take note of what is happening and demands a change. She started the Fashion Revolution. Our own Jo-Ann had an interview with her, you can read it here. Why not ask your favourite designer or brand “Who made your clothes”? It shouldn’t be a hard question to answer. Green This Season MAGAZINE Spring 2014 Like they say at the Revolution’s HQ; “Fashion is a force to be reckoned with. It celebrates, provokes, and entertains. And, from April 24th 2014, it’s going to do even more. Because we’re turning fashion into a force for good.” “ON 24th APRIL LAST YEAR, 1133 PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND OVER 2500 WERE INJURED WHEN THE RANA PLAZA FACTORY COMPLEX COLLAPSED IN DHAKA, BANGLADESH. SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CATASTROPHES IN OUR FASHION SUPPLY CHAINS CONTINUE. THE FASHION REVOLUTION DAY SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.” Show your support on April 24th label. Share your picture on our Facebook or twitter page and tag yourself with #insideout We also ask you to support our platform, support our designers and support the movement. Believe it or not, you are the only one that can demand a change with your actions. YOU HAVE MORE POWER THAN YOU THINK. You are the change the fashion world is waiting for. Donna
