Gen Z are often hailed as being pioneers of sustainable fashion, but a decade on from the Rana Plaza disaster I wonder if this is true.
Monday marked 10 years since 1,134 people were killed and at least another 2,000 injured when an eight-storey building that housed five garment factories collapsed in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
During the recovery operation it was discovered that many brands including Primark, Mango and Benetton used the factories to produce clothes. The disaster, considered the deadliest in the history of the garment industry, drew attention to the human cost of low priced clothes and kickstarted the Who Made My Clothes movement.
