Fashion Revolution Week 2025 came and went in April — but if you’ve moved on, we haven’t.

Because at Couchman:bespoke, the real work doesn’t begin and end with a trending hashtag. It lives in the small, intentional actions that follow — the way we dress, mend, question, and make choices that respect people and the planet.

Fashion Revolution was never meant to be a moment. It’s a mindset.

Beyond the Hashtag

The call for a more ethical fashion industry can’t live on borrowed moments. It needs to become part of the everyday — stitched into our habits, not just our headlines.

At Couchman:bespoke, that means continuing to:

• Choose local, repurposed, and zero-waste materials
• Teach garment repair and hand sewing with Moxie Craft
• Challenge fast fashion’s throwaway mindset with every garment we touch

Ethical fashion isn’t performative. It’s practical.

It looks like:

• Asking, “Can this be repaired?” before “What can I buy next?”
• Seeing value in the overlooked — a frayed hem, a remnant of cloth, a skill passed down
• Stitching slowly, intentionally, with care

Conversations Worth Rewatching

We hosted two YouTube chats during a previous Fashion Revolution Week — and they’re still just as relevant now.

• 🎥 A Fashion Revolution – Talking Upcycling Art with Elly
  Elly of TakeItUpWearItOut shared how costume design and creativity can reshape our relationship with clothing waste.
• 🎥 Fashion Revolutionist – Sewing More Sustainably with Zoe
  Zoe of Check Your Thread reflected on sewing for your body, not just the pattern. It was a reminder that sustainability isn’t only about the environment — it’s about self-respect too.

Missed them? They’re still there — and still worth your time

What Now?

You don’t need a hashtag to start mending. You don’t need to wait until next April to ask better questions.

Try this instead:

• Ask who made your clothes
• Consider how long they’ll last
• Learn how to care for them better
• Support those who repair, repurpose, and remake

If you want to take a practical next step, we offer classes in hand sewing, visible mending, and clothing care with Moxie Craft — year-round. No sewing experience required. Just a willingness to slow down and do things differently.

Slow on Purpose

Fashion Revolution is a spark. But the work is in the embers — the kind that keep glowing quietly, long after the spotlight has moved on.

Sometimes, change looks like threading a needle.
Sometimes, it’s choosing not to buy.
Sometimes, it’s mending a hem instead of starting over.

The hashtag may be gone. But the revolution — the real one — is still going.
