Dress In Protest
'Dress in protest' is the motto of Birdsong and it's hard to think of a more fitting phrase for the sustainable fashion movement. So what does it mean? For the founders of Birdsong it begins by protesting the unsustainable micro trends of fast fashion, the unfair exploitation of female workers across the garment industry and unsustainable practices of fashion. By choosing sustainable fashion, you're already 'dressing in protest! If you're looking to make a louder statement, check out their organic cotton slogan tees featuring powerful statements like 'No Borders’ and ‘Still I Rise'.
"We loved clothes and activism and the idea of making more women visible. So we decided to build a fashion brand as outsiders, with no experience, using our friends and activists as models." - Sophie Slater, Co-Founder
