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!
