Are you a Fashion Revolutionary? TAKE THE QUIZ!

Right now we’re wrapping up Fashion Revolution week, the week of the year where we acknowledge and honor the 1,138 lives lost and the additional 2,500 injured on April 24th, 2013. These workers were sewing and making our clothes when the building of the Rana Plaza of Bangladesh collapsed. It was the fourth largest industrial disaster in history. And where were you? Do you remember what you thought when you found out the news? Are you just now finding out about it?
​
This is why there’s a call for a Fashion Revolution. For too long, our clothes have been made by people so far removed from our minds and in conditions that you or I wouldn’t step foot in. To have a real Fashion Revolution, it’s going to take a lot of people like you and me doing some pretty radical things. Take our quiz and see how Fashion Radical you are! Plus, you might get some other ideas.
