Today is also the start of Fashion Revolution week, which is marking its ten year anniversary. Its inception came a year after the horrific Rana Plaza disaster in Dhakar, Bangladesh, the notorious factory collapse in which 1,138 garment workers – the majority women – were killed, and over 2,500 injured. Clothes for brands including Zara, H&M and Primark were made in the overloaded factory building which was attempting to function without any consideration for the workers who were there, paid a pittance, with no wage security.
