Description of what we're standing for
Freedom & Fashion addresses the injustices of modern day slavery by shedding light on the purchasing power of conscious consumerism, increasing the demand for socially responsible and ethically produced goods and ensuring they are readily available to consumers. Freedom and Fashion believes in educating the public about what social injustice looks like. There are more slaves today than in the Trans Atlantic slave trade. Trafficking made over 32 billion dollars alone last year. They want to show people what they buy, watch, and participate in, affect those who are oppressed. As a hub for fair-trade, Freedom and Fashion showcases organizations and companies that are already doing the front line work of educating, producing and empowering. Freedom and Fashion promotes these organizations and raises awareness for these shows on the runway, in our magazine, on our blog, and in our short films. In addition, people can purchase the merchandise on the day of the event in the various booths.
