Dubai: Fashion Revolution UAE proudly announces the return of Fashion Revolution Week, taking place from April 21st to 27th, 2025. As part of the world’s largest fashion activism movement, this impactful week of awareness, education, and action is rooted in the theme “Think Globally, Act Locally” — an invitation to reimagine the fashion system through storytelling, sustainability, and local change.
This year also marks 11 years since the Rana Plaza tragedy, a heartbreaking event that catalyzed a global push toward ethical reform in fashion. In remembrance, Fashion Revolution UAE will bring together students, artisans, designers, academics, tech experts, and sustainability advocates across a dynamic series of virtual and in-person events to demand accountability and celebrate conscious creativity.
