Made In Sri Lanka

2019 Official Selection
Written By Justin Merino

Since 2016, Remake has taken 8 'peace corps for fashion' journeys into garment maker communities to give us human faces behind our clothing labels – from “Made in China,” “Made In India” to “Made in Pakistan“. In our 7th journey, we took aspiring fashion designers into Cambodia where they listened and learned. This time we took next gen fashion designers from Parsons School of Design and California College of the Arts to Sri Lanka.
