Fashion Revolution in Halle: Upcycling and exciting events on Saturday!

On Saturday, April 26, 2025, Halle becomes a center of creativity and social change. From 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. the Fashion Revolution takes place on the market square, which is dedicated to the important topic of upcycling this time. This event not only celebrates sustainable fashion, but also the tenth anniversary of the Fashion Revolution organization, which was founded after the catastrophic Rana Plaza collapse in Bangladesh, in which more than 1,100 people lost their lives. This tragedy drew attention worldwide to the often inhumane practice of clothing production. fashionunited.com reports that the world is now the greatest fashionable campaign in over 100 countries.

The first Fashion Revolution Day took place in 2014, since then the movement has created numerous campaigns that encourage consumers to ask more questions about their origin. In 2015, for example, the #Whomademyclothes campaign in Germany will be implemented in Berlin with a “2-euro t-shirt machine”. It is therefore only fitting that the current celebrations in Halle are devoted to the importance of sustainability and social responsibility in the fashion industry.
