Cause of the Season – Iran

Connecting fashion with both environmental and social responsibility, Fashionable Earth is committed to human rights and social justice.  We focus our T-shirt Revolution on a specific global issue and channel awareness and raise money for that nominated “Cause of the Season.”

Our current Fall/Winter 2009 cause focuses on Iran.  We have created two limited-edition T-shirts to be sold to support the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, a non-profit organization promoting accountability and the rule of law in Iran through the documentation of human rights abuses; and Women for Women International, a non-profit organization helping women survivors of war rebuild their lives.  The intention is to allow each individual to contribute to a more eco-friendly world by buying clothing that would otherwise be trashed, while becoming more aware of global issues and being able to support change.

Our two designs promoting women and human rights, unity, social justice and religious freedom in Iran are set on donated shirts, given to us by both individuals and companies.  The first features the word azadi, meaning freedom in Persian, over a woman’s raised fist, regarded as an expression of solidarity and strength.  The second design quotes a Rumi poem inside the wrist of a clenched fist: “Love’s nationality is separate from all other religions,  The lover’s religion and nationality is the Beloved.  The lover’s cause is separate from all other causes, Love is the astrolabe of God’s mysteries.”

If you would like to contribute to our cause of the season and help in raising awareness for human and women’s rights in Iran, please contact us immediately.
