Well known event London Fashion Week witnessed the demonstration, organised by anti-poverty charity War on Want calls on the British Fashion Council to end silence on garment workers behind clothes. Campaigners took action on Waterloo Bridge with a 30 metres wide banner highlighting “Don’t mention the garment workers.” One of the senior campaigner said that London Fashion Week is a glittering showcase for the fashion industry but fashion’s dark side is kept in the shadows. British Fashion Council claimed that each bi-annual event is expected to inject around 100 million Pounds into the economy through orders placed by buyers and money spent by international visitors on accommodation and flights. Anti-poverty charity, War on Want claim said this amount of money could pay a month’s wages for 2.4 million Bangladeshi garment workers who earn just 42 Pounds a month.
