Hidden Secrets Revealed!

Did you know that the film Chicken Run took four and a half years to make and had 200 people working on it?

Well a handful of young people, one film maker and a series of workshops later, the animation group finally held a special screening of their own animation! An audience of over 30 people were shocked to see some of the hidden truths of fashion and were stunned at the quality of the animation this Leicester based group of young people had produced.

There was an energetic discussion and the group of young people left the audience motivated to find out more and get involved.

Well done to the group!



You can support the group and garment workers around the world by sharing this with your friends and family.

Totally ‘Unreel’!

What happens when you put together 9 young people from Leicester, the issue of fast fashion and a film maker?

What you get is totally ‘Unreel’! A film documentary that looks beyond the catwalk and at the impact our demand for fast fashion is having on garment workers in Asia.

Come and see this fantastic ‘behind the scenes’ style film and meet the inspiring young people who made it, in an evening to celebrate their achievements.

Fashion Fusion Event

This past August has seen Naitika working with one of the biggest groups ever.

The Shree Rajput Bhoiraj Gnati Samaj Youth group UK. They’ve spent the summer dancing, refashioning, and acting their way through the supply chain, landfills and garment workers.

Their performance is going to be held on the 16th September at the Belgrave Neighbourhood Centre. With the show starting from 6pm onwards. Be there or be square!

Fashion Passion event

As you know Naitika has been working with youth groups in and around the Leicester area, and one of those youth groups is the Rushey Mead girls group. They have spent the last few months learning about garment workers, the environment and ways of combating these issues through recycling. After many ideas and script changes they are finally ready to show the world what they’ve been up to.

The girls are going to be strutting down the runway with their recycled skirts and tops in two weeks time, when they finally get to perform their catwalk/drama show.

Shane Solanki a London based multi talented actor has channelled their talent, wit and charms into a performance which promises to be humorous and thought provoking at the same time. The girls are giving it all that they’ve got and WE are ALL expecting to see you there!

Come see this one-off fashion extravaganza, on the 1st of July at the Highfields Centre in Leicester, FIND OUT WHAT young people think of ethical fashion and get involved yourself!
