Event: The Great Fashion Fast, from 1 March 2022 to 31 March 2022
Wear just ten items of clothing for a fortnight or one month, get sponsored, and help vulnerable communities face up to the climate crisis.

Story

The three of us love clothes, love how much our clothes say about who we are.

But we also know that the fashion industry generates more harmful CO2 emissions than all international flights and shipping combined. And the extreme weather conditions that are caused by the CO2 in the atmosphere affect people living in poverty the most.

So for the whole of March, we will only be wearing 10 items of clothing from our wardrobes. (Not counting essentials like underwear and uniform!) We're doing this because we want to raise awareness of how significant the choices we make about where we buy our clothes from and how many items of clothing we have really are.

The money raised will help support life-saving projects such as building flood-resistant homes; training communities in how to respond and recover when disaster hits; and planting trees to provide a barrier that will help prevent homes and crops from being washed away.

So please support us in The Great Fashion Fast and help push back against poverty and the climate crisis.
