FASHION REVOLUTION 4:24:14 WHO MADE YOUR CLOTHES? SAN FRANCISCO

Do you know who made the clothes you are wearing right now? What country did it travel from? How many people's hands has it touched? What fibers are threaded into its material?

 In our fabulous 21^st century lives, we often lose touch with the things we buy and their affect on society and the environment. For example, on April 24th of last year, 1133 people were killed and 2500 injured when the eight-story Rana Plaza garment factory complex in Bangladesh collapsed. To this day, people are still suffering as a direct result of our fashion supply chain.
In response this, we have teamed up with Fashion Revolution Day to remember the victims of garment factory negligence and to promote positive change in the industry. When: April 24^th, 2014Where: SOMA StrEAT Food Park MAPTime: 5:00 pm – 9:00 pmEnter to win $200 Shopping Spree Here

WANT TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE FASHION REVOLUTION? WEAR SOMETHING INSIDEOUT
To bring attention to true cost of the things we buy --and the invisible workforce behind the clothes we wear-- attendees are encouraged to wear one piece of clothing inside out, to photograph it, and then share to their photos with the hashtag #insideout for a chance to win fair trade fashion from Fashion Revolution Day brand partners. 

I look forward to celebrating Fashion Revolution Day as our Grand Finale of the night market series at SoMa StrEat Food Park.
