Join Fashion Revolution and Create a More Transparent, Sustainable Fashion Landscape
False standards of glitz and glamour keep propelling us towards maxing out our credit cards and purchasing “just one more” especially when prices are low and affordable. The world of fashion is protean, beautiful, and light-years away from poverty or squalor. Unfortunately, our appetite for this Season’s ‘must-haves’ is wreaking real havoc on people and the environment. And the sleepwalkers are finally waking up!
The Rana Plaza Disaster
When the factory in Rana Plaza Bangladesh collapsed, the reverberation made its way to the hearts of style curators and compulsive buyers all over the world. The inhuman work conditions, the fact that the workers had protested to no avail and the unethical practices of most supply chains came to light shattering the complacency of the fashion clique.
Overflowing landfills and the incredible pressure to keep producing raw material to satiate the style of machinery have since joined ranks and become pressing concerns everyone talks about.
Beautiful outside isn’t necessarily beautiful inside!
In a bid to make things right, the clarion call of #FashionRevolution was sounded, and it has turned into a massive movement.
How Can You Help Create a More Transparent, Sustainable Fashion Landscape?
The primary objective of the Fashion Revolution is to shake the status quo and to rally forces around the concept of ‘slow’ fashion or ethical fashion which questions process and procurement and not just the size and the price.
“Who Made My Clothes” placards and inside-out jackets have come to define the Fashion Revolution. And we can’t discount its impact.
Slow fashion is the solution that’s in our control. I didn’t make my clothes, but I can create a sartorial landscape that I am proud to be a part of. Ditch the fads. Disregard the promise of cheap new thrills. Invest in statement pieces instead. Treasures you can hand down to younger generations, and wear for the next ten years! Acquisitions that will “wow” whenever they leave the closet!
Haute Edit Supports Slow Design
Being a proponent of ethical fashion, sustainability and transparency are important to me personally, and more especially for my Haute Edit brand. So I want to thank those tireless hands that spin the fabric, the pattern drafters, the cutters, the machinists and tailors that worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth production process, bringing my visionary Haute Edit dream to glittery life.
I am so proud to honour one of the many hands behind my latest Resort Collection
Meet Mukesh, our master sartor from Rajasthan.

Between the 24th to 30th of April, don’t just ask the brands to share supply chain information, but take the pledge that you will purchase to empower and purchase to last.
Because we are the change, we want to see.
