Dali Schonfelder

Fashion activist
Every year, Dali (18) and Finn Schonfelder (15) travelled to India with their parents to a rural village in the outskirts of Mumbai. The year Dali turned 13, she returned to find her friends out of school simply because they could not afford the school uniform. Students who cannot afford the mandatory uniform after age 12 are forbidden to attend school and can no longer receive an education. Wanting to do something to help their friends immediately, they founded Nalu, a clothing line that gives a school uniform with the sale of every 4 products. Nalu was born to solve a human injustice, the notion that education is not a privilege but a human right. A school uniform is the one piece of fashion that harnesses the power to change a child’s life. It’s a symbol for a promising future, a career and a step closer to realizing dreams. Nalu is more than a label, it is a movement of advocates who employ fashion to better lives.
