November 06, 2014: Activists staged a protest in downtown San Francisco to call attention to forest destruction for fabric. Activists are visiting Fashion 15 companies throughout the city, demanding that companies get forest destruction out of their fabric.
Dressed as fashion models, and wielding toy chain saws, activists staged street theater events outside of Prada, Louis Vuitton, Victoria’s Secret, Forever 21 and Abercrombie & Fitch. Marching from store to store, a team of about 20 staged runway shows, did photo shoots, stickered clothing tags, and handed out information.
Each event created a spectacle for tourists and shoppers, with music, photographers, and a clear message: get forest destruction Out of Fashion. Strutting along a red carpet, models carried signs naming the Fashion 15 companies, and exposing their role in forest destruction for fashion apparel.
The event in San Francisco this morning was far from the only one — right now hundreds of activists across the country are taking action in their communities as well. More here.
