Fashion, Feminism & the Future
Ayesha Barenblat, founder & CEO of Remake, shares how the Instagram generation is galvanizing social change IRL.
Remake is founded on the idea of ‘radical disruption.’
The organization leverages everything from social media to public policy to make equitable business practices and mindful consumption a reality. In addition to partnerships with the Clean Clothes Campaign, the International Labor Organization and other likeminded NGOs, Remake’s community organizing efforts have provoked more than 2,000 young people around the globe to join in the fight for human rights and climate justice.
“The real way to really get citizens to care is to build that local organizing machinery the same way as unions do it. That’s what we need. We need sort of union machinery for citizens, and that’s what we’re out here to do.”
Here, Barenblat and Kingpins founder Andrew Olah discuss what makes the organization’s results-driven, multi-stakeholder strategy successful and why fashion is a feminist issue.
