What is Killer Fashion Revolution?
It is about transforming war related fashion to promote human rights. A lot of the clothes we wear are related to war without us knowing it. The idea of Killer Fashion Revolution is to track these clothes and transform them to new garments or artifacts that promote human rights. Specially during war time human rights are often neglected. By recycling some of our war related clothes and transforming them to promote human rights we take a stand for a more just world in a creative and fun way. We all know that human rights exists, therefor by exploring them trough fashion we bring them to our awareness in daily life, that helps us to find creative ways to act when we meet unjustness.

Killer Fashion Revolution-Workshops!
In the fashion hacking workshops participants are facilitated with the help of different activities through a collaborative creative design process. A set of peace educational objectives are implemented into the workshop program to enhance participants understanding about ethical fashion and human rights. Workshops have as well a sustainable approach by generating ideas how to re-cycle old clothes. Encouraging participants to express themselves by means of creating fashion promotes diversity. On the other hand team work skills are enhanced by creating designs in collaboration with others. The outcome of the workshops are designs promoting human rights made by participants.
