Thursday, 27 May, 2021
Sumedha Vemulakonda, Fashion & activism In the eighth episode of More Than Fashion: The SNR Podcast, our host and Silver Needle Runway Communications Director, Erica Capobianco, is joined by Sumedha Vemulakonda, Ambassador/ Activist for Remake Our World. Join Erica and Sumedha as they discuss her journey to becoming an ambassador for Remake Our World, and the tips she shares in order to help people change the Fast Fashion industry. Learn all about where Sumedha sees the fashion activism movement headed in the next 5- 10 years and find out ways you can help make fashion and the world a more sustainable industry. Learn More about Sumedha Vemulkonda: Sumedha Vemulakonda is an undergraduate student studying Economics, Journalism, and Law at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. As a true Economics nerd, and certified Fashionista, she’s combined her interests in her current passion: research into the labor rights within the fast fashion industry, and what needs to be done to protect them. Like a lot of other fashion enthusiasts, Sumedha was guilty of valuing trendy clothes while turning a blind eye towards the multiple labor rights cases of abuse and various other ethical issues that underlie the production process of fast fashion. But after writing a paper on the sourcing models of these businesses, as well as publishing stories about sustainable fashion on her blog, À La Mode, she’s come to understand the role that the fashion industry plays in perpetuating labor and human rights abuse throughout the world. She continues to write articles about labor issues and human rights transgressions within the fast fashion industry for @remakeourworld. You can find her pieces linked on the remake website, where you can also find more information about resources and ways in which the activist community is trying to turn fashion into a force for good!
