A Fashion Show Like No Other
Jun 1st, 2014 by Jinja
This last week garment workers took time out of their very busy working days to organize a showing of the clothes they spend hours putting together.
It was a very opportune moment as a number of labels were in town to meet with manufacturers.
I can’t recall the last time I’ve seen reenactments of state repression… on the catwalk.
Impressed by the bravery of the participants and enthused by their work to speak directly about their hopes, dreams, needs.
Watch the video, check out more news coverage below. (Kudos to Workers Information Centre for organising the event.)
