It’s Fashion Revolution Week. This is the week we remember the thousands of fast fashion workers who were killed and injured at Rana Plaza, Bangladesh. For those of us in the ethical fashion space, empathising with our garment worker and artisan friends in the developing world is something we are attuned to. In these COVID-19 times, where fears for our own health and economic security are uppermost in our minds, we can understand even more profoundly the challenges faced by those workers on a daily basis.
