In addition to acting, Lola Tung has always had a passion for activism. Over the years, she’s taken to social media to draw attention to climate change and various political causes. “I feel very grateful that my parents always encouraged [these conversations] and instilled in me that my voice mattered and that my opinion mattered and that I should fight for the things that I believe in,” the actress told 1883 Magazine.
Tung has also partnered with fashion brands to draw attention to some of these same issues. She’s currently the face of Coach’s brand Coachtopia, which uses recyclable and renewable materials to create handbags, shoes, and other accessories. “I think circular fashion and everything that they are striving for with Coachtopia is the future of fashion and the only way to work towards creating an industry that isn’t so harmful to the planet and to our home,” Tung told Teen Vogue.
The actress and her “The Summer I Turned Pretty” co-stars have also partnered with American Eagle to promote their summer line, “The Summer of Us.” As the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, Craig Brommers, explained to Retail Dive, marketing for the new line is geared toward curbing the feelings of loneliness heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Close connection to others is definitely something that the cast enjoyed while filming the series. “We had the best time, on and off set,” Tung told the “Today” show.
