Can fashion be a cause for social change? As a response to the refugee crisis, Angela Luna designed an innovative clothing line to meet the needs of refugees. In this passionate talk, she challenges the narrative of the fashion industry as being disconnected from global issues, and instead demonstrates its role as a movement for change.





Angela Luna is a graduate from the Parsons Class of 2016, and winner of the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award and Eyes on Talents Innovation Award. At only 22 years old, she is a social entrepreneur and designer currently in the process of establishing a humanitarian brand with a focus on using innovative design to solve global issues. Her first collection is made to assist refugees, with unisex and one-size convertible outerwear. Each jacket responds to one or more issues that a refugee faces on a daily basis, including lack of shelter and sleep, overseas journeys, too much or not enough visibility, and traveling with children.

Through widespread donations, she sees the potential for design to make a difference in the lives of the other 90%. She is dedicated to being a leading innovator in solution-based design, generating products that better the world.
