Fashion Revolution Week – Hannah’s Love Story

Fashion Revolution day 5! To celebrate, we have our fifth instalment of Fashion Love Stories, and it’s a special one!

Today’s spotlight is on pre-loved and sustainability Queen Hannah. She hasn’t shopped fast fashion since July 2019, how incredible? Check out this beautiful poem she’s written one of her favourite shirts that’s been passed down from her Dad. So beautiful.

Photograph it, film it, write about it! Get involved this Fashion Revolution week and share your love story.
