Craftivist Collective: Guerrilla Art On London Fashion Week

To mark the start of London Fashion Week 2010 [1], activist group The Craftivist Collective [2] has created homemade Mini Protest Banners aimed at exposing the ugly side of fashion.

Using Mini Protest Banners [3], they hope to make people think about the side of the fashion that is often too easily dismissed by the industry in a non-threatening but challenging way during the fashionista's calendar annual highlight.

“Lowest paid models at London Fashion Week paid £125 an hour. Majority of garment workers in Vietnam paid £25 a month.”

They have been tied up to lamp-posts, railings, and buildings near fashion hotspots to provoke people to care about their global neighbours on the other side of the global fashion industry including this one inside Somerset House saying: “Lowest paid models at London Fashion Week paid £125 an hour. Majority of garment workers in Vietnam paid £25 a month.”
