About Aditi Mayer
Aditi Mayer is a sustainable
fashion blogger, photojournalist, labor rights activist, and frequent speaker
on topics of social and environmental justice. Her work looks at fashion and
culture through a lens of intersectionality and decolonization. In 2014, Aditi
had her start in the sustainable fashion movement after learning about the Rana
Plaza Factory Collapse. Seeing the fashion industry’s disproportionate on
people of color globally, Aditi looked to understand the historical and
sociopolitical underpinnings that allow the fashion industry to function in a
colonial manner, rooted in exploitation and extraction of both labor and the
natural environment. Since then, she has become a voice in the larger
sustainability movement, approaching her work from multiple domains: from
grassroots organizing in Downtown LA’s garment district to educating folks on
the importance of diverse perspectives.
