Fashion Revolution addressed the mass consumption and waste with “Loved Clothes Last”
Fashion Revolution launched the “Loved Clothes Last” short movie to comment on the issue of mass consumption and waste, which generated an unprecedented crisis and a significant impact on climate change. The film was directed by Balthazar Klarwein and produced by production company Feel Films.
The movie has Angelina Jesson as protagonist, showcases a disturbing dystopian reality and is focusing on a series of symbols (from Wabi Sabi to rebirthing and circularity) to explore mindfulness and consciousness. With its final call to arms #LovedClothesLast, it encourages viewers to understand how small actions can benefit the planet, reduce landfill mass and ultimately create a more meaningful relationship with the things we choose to buy.
Never has a fashion shoot felt so good.

Director
It’s been such an honour to collaborate with Fashion Revolution, whose work is so innovative and so important. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together on this extraordinary project.

This is the first time that Fashion Revolution combines campaigning for supply chain transparency with a new dedicated focus on environmental issues. The film therefore marks the start of a new journey, #whomademyclothes to #lovedclotheslast – looking at the full story from the origins of the clothes we buy to their end of life.
