As the fashion world gears up for another year of transformation and reflection, Fashion Revolution Week UAE 2025 invites you to join a powerful lineup of events designed to spotlight ethics, creativity, and sustainability. Taking place from April 21st to 27th, this edition embraces the theme “Think Globally, Act Locally”—a call to honor cultural heritage while driving conscious change within our own communities.
Why We Need a Fashion Revolution
The tragedy of Rana Plaza in 2013 was a wake-up call the industry can never forget. Over 1,100 garment workers lost their lives—reminding the world of the real cost of fast fashion. Since then, Fashion Revolution has become a global movement advocating for transparency, accountability, and justice in fashion.
In the UAE, the movement takes on a unique cultural lens, guided by three principles:
- Cultural Integrity: Preserving artisanal heritage and giving rightful credit to creators.
- Solidarity and Inclusivity: Building a diverse, representative, and compassionate industry.
- Mindful Consumption: Embracing circular fashion and rethinking how we consume.
