Synopsis
Today on episode 75 we will be speaking to Ellen Downes with Fashion Revolution. BIO: Entrepreneur and slow fashion activist, Ellen has a background in business, events, and fundraising. In 2015 she co-founded outdoor cinema company Enchanted Cinema through which she pursued her passion to support local and independent business and engage in social justice and sustainability through art. Having always bought and sold vintage, Fashion Revolution Vietnam has provided a platform through which she can also work with and promote the work of vintage shops in Vietnam who support the notion that clothes should not be seen as disposable, but as items to love and make last! Ellen is passionate about the importance of celebrating, preserving and supporting the work of local designers and makers in Vietnam and wants to focus the Fashion Revolution movement in Vietnam towards also raising the voices of garment factory workers, the majority of whom are female, who are producing in unsafe and undignified conditions.
