Events – Camille Mori

Happy Fashion Revolution Week! As some of you may know, Fashion Revolution was started in reaction to the human suffering in Bangladesh caused by the Rana Plaza garment factory collapse in 2013. What started as a social media effort to ask brands #whomademyclothes, has grown into a worldwide movement to raise awareness about how clothing is made and push for more transparency in the industry.

This year I am joining the revolution as a student ambassador for NYU and am excited for the opportunity to raise these issues in the NYU community as well as celebrate what our community is already doing to create a more sustainable and ethical apparel industry. During this week I am using my blog as a platform to look at different ways in which the NYU community is working to drive positive change in this industry, from policy-making and design thinking to corporate strategies and social entrepreneurship, I look forward to sharing what I’ve found.

I’ll be posting a feature post on these different theories of change from Tuesday to Saturday this week, keep an eye out for them in the In Depth section of my blog. For more information on Fashion Revolution Week and how to get involved, check out their website. I’m also including some great events happening this week in NYC below.
