We all wear cltohes but the fashion and textile industries are among the most polluting ones in the world. The Swedish fashion industry is in a development phase in which a transition to more sustainable and circular business models is as natural as it is necessary. It’s an exciting time, when research, innovation and cross-disciplinary collaborations can inspire the industry globally.
About
This is a social media campaign which contains six short films for social media (see Building blocks below). The “activate your closet” films highlight different ways to prolong the life of garments and contribute to the behavioural change needed to meet the great climate challenge we face. The films can be used as inspiration on social media to attract attention to the Fashion Revolution toolkit, as a social media campaign on its own, or combined with (online-) workshops, for example styling, re-dyeing, remake or mending.
Please make sure that you only use the campaign texts provided by the Swedish Institute.
