CCA's Design Lecture Series presentsAyesha Barenblat:Made in MexicoWednesday, April 17, 20191111 Eighth Street in SF 6pm
Approximately 80% of the 75 million people who work to make our clothes are females in their early twenties. Most often, these women are forgotten.
Enter Remake. Labeled the Peace Corps of fashion, Remake believes that fashion can be a force for good. By using their purchasing power, voice, and creativity to encourage consumers to wear their values with their #WearYourValues campaign, Remake hopes to make the invisible women who power the fashion industry visible.
To support its Mission, Remake takes influencers and future designers into garment maker communities around the world to meet the women who make our clothes face-to-face. It’s through these interactions we’re able to get a firsthand look into her life, hopes, and dreams as well as gain a better understanding about the ethics of manufacturing and production. From Sri Lanka to Cambodia and India, Remake journeys hope to build empathy across the fashion supply chain, inspiring millennials and designers to use their power to change the system for good.
Join Remake’s Founder, Ayesha Barenblat, as she premieres Made In Mexico, Remake’s newest film short featuring fashion activist Amanda Hearst and CCA Fashion Design students Sajida Silva and Yesenia Villasenor. Follow along as they meet Olivia, Veronica, and Reina, the fierce women makers behind our Made In Mexico fast fashion labels.
Paul Dillinger, Vice President of Global Product Innovation and Premium Collection Design for Levi Strauss & Co, joins us to deliver a keynote on sustainability in the Fashion industry.
