BECOME A MEMBER

FAN operates as a commons with costs and responsibilities shared. We ask members to make a monthly contribution at a level they can afford, helping to keep the group accessible to a diversity of people. If members contribute an average of £8 per month, we can cover: website overheads, sending newsletters, accounting and administration and four days of paid community coordination each month. We could also set aside around £300 each year to cover unexpected costs and support new ideas. Join us and help build a thriving, accessible community. If you have any questions about joining FAN or if you cannot afford our membership, please get in touch at hello@fashionactnow.org.

“I joined FAN because I am convinced that the mainstream fashion system is broken, must be dismantled, and that beautiful alternatives are not only possible but essential to the wellbeing of people and planet. I am part of a vibrant ecosystem of defashioning thinkers and activists who live their values out in the real world.”

- Kirsten, FAN Member

THE DEFASHION PLEDGE

I DECLARE:

​

We need defashion now.

The era of Fashion - of a dominant globalised system - must end. 

It is neither relevant, nor civilised. 

Fashion normalises and depends on the belief that certain people, places and cultures are disposable for the sake of growth. Fashion sacrifices Indigenous cultures, producing more ‘workers’ and ‘consumers’. Fashion dehumanises, splitting the world into those deemed ‘fashionable’ and ‘modern’ and those who are not. 

 

Fashion is novelty not culture. It is not designed for meaning or need. 

It is a lie, promising belonging and worth, exploiting our insecurities in order to grow. 

 

Fashion is obliterating bio and cultural diversity.
