Fashion Nova’s Vendors Could Be Exploiting Workers

Earlier this month, Kim Kardashian debuted new leisurewear from her Skims fashion line. The look is called Cozy Collection and mostly consists of fuzzy sweats. Well, around the same time, according to Instagram’s date stamp anyway, Fashion Nova — a fashion company based in Los Angeles — was already marketing their version of the Cozy Collection called Cozy Sets. People on social media were quick to say Fashion Nova was simply trolling Kardashian’s collection. Either way, Kardashian has accused them of replicating her looks before.

That is, however, the definition of fast fashion, garments that are designed quickly, constructed even faster, and marketed for sale on social media. How is all of that possible? It’s a fashion trend that has put Fashion Nova on the center stage of fashion retail. But there’s something shady going on.

In a New York Times investigation, the publication found that the retailer has been successful for the quick turnover in fashion looks in large part because the vendors they’re working with could be exploiting their workers. The publication reports that the United States Labor Department is investigating Fashion Nova for paying their seamstresses as little as $2.77 an hour. – Source
