Read our privacy policy Extinction Rebellion is once again calling for the British Fashion Council to cancel London Fashion Week. It calls on the BFC to “cancel September 2020 fashion week” and “immediately start work on an emergency action plan that aids stakeholders through change”. In order for this to work, the group, who staged a “funeral” protest at London Fashion Week last season, is urging the BFC to launch an “emergency action plan that supports stakeholders through transition into a new format: one that directly addresses the underlying issues of obsolescence, overproduction, and exploitation”. On Saturday, members from Extinction Rebellion plan to protest outside the BFC’s main Fashion Week space in central London from 9am.
