The Stories We Wear

A short, research-driven animated film exposing the hidden human cost of fast fashion in the UK. Every view and every donation helps amplify hidden stories.

Behind every t-shirt and dress are workers whose voices rarely reach the public.

My research in the UK garment industry documents stories of exploitation, silencing, and displacement - and turns them into films that the public cannot ignore.

When we change what people see and feel, we change what they tolerate.

Future films will continue to uncover the complex realities within fashion supply chains, by including the perspectives of factory owners and consumers. By examining responsibility and accountability across all levels, these stories aim to foster deeper understanding, encourage dialogue, and drive meaningful change within the industry. The goal is to move beyond blame and toward dialogue, driving awareness that leads to genuine, systemic change.
