This week is Fashion Revolution Week, a movement that started after the terrible tragedy in Bangladesh, where 1,129 fashion workers lost their lives and 2,500 injured people were rescued from the collapse of Rana Plaza.

This year they are encouraging fashion lovers to write a love letter to their clothes. This initiative encourages people to connect with their clothes and appreciate them more.

In 2015 Livia Firth, a well-known fashion activist, started a movement known as #30wears in which she challenges consumers to wear the clothes they buy 30 times or more.
