The Fashion rEvolution supports "9 Fingers for Tibet"
Athletes and spectators making a clear point for a free Tibet in a peaceful manner... does this work? A solution for this problem is given by „9 Fingers for Tibet“, without words, but meaningful at the same time.
Simply put your hands up in the air and bend the right thumb towards the palm. This way the remaining fingers symbolize the four letters FREE, while the five fingers of your left hand signify TIBET. The signal was invented by Marc Strotmann of the Munich based agency Xynias, Wetzel. A simple sign through which China can be given a piece of peoples' mind from everywhere in the world.
Priceless: Everybody can participate! This signal works very easily and without any aggression, but nevertheless with a high penetrating power.
The Fashion rEvolution supports the campaign by distributing the logo on their organic and fair produced polo shirts and by this giving a clear additional statement: who wants to blame China for human rights abuse, should not do so in cheap clothes made in China, manufactured under inhumane conditions and exploitive child labor. Since this week the eco-fair shirts with the 9 fingers logo are available in their online-shop www.better-dressed.com. Half of the net profit will be donated to the „TIBETAN FAMILY HELP“ (TFH), a Swiss organization helping Tibetan refugees in Nepal by arranging godparenthoods. TFH also financially supports a school hostel for children of refugees in Chialsa, Nepal and built a hospital in an isolated area in Eastern Tibet to establish the required medical care. Exclusively counting on volunteer work, TFH is furthermore able to pass on 100% of the donations.
