On April 24, 2013, the eight-story Rana Plaza commercial building collapsed in Bangladesh. 1,135 fashion industry workers were killed by the rubble. The world is becoming increasingly aware of the dark side of a system teetering on the brink of insanity. The cult of things, consumption, pollution and business interests already exceed all normality.
The globalized fashion industry is a toxic passion taken to the extreme that is both absurd and dangerous. That's why fashion designers, intellectuals and activists all over the world are organizing an uprising to make the fashion industry more humane. Some of them have started knitting again, some create with the help of 3D printers, but they all act on ethical considerations to make the modern fashion industry more humane. Goodbye, callous, superficial and grotesque fashion! Nowadays, a different fashion world is also possible.
Fashion designer Annika Kiidron will make an introduction to the film screenings.
