Kylie and Kendall Jenner deny accusations they haven't paid their factory workers

The fashion industry needs to pay its factory workers, even if they’ve decided to cancel their order post-production.

Kylie and Kendall Jenner deny accusations they haven't paid their factory workers

Earlier this month, Kylie and Kendall Jenner were accused of not paying the factory who makes the clothing for their fashion line Kendall + Kylie. Now, a representative for the millionaire sisters denies the allegations, claiming the connection is 'false.'

can't wait for the #kendallxkylie collection to launch this friday on KylieCosmetics.com 🤍✨

On the 22nd of June, Instagram account Diet Prada shared a now deleted article claiming that the Kardashian sisters’ brand were owned and associated with GBG. GBG is one of several fashion brands accused of not paying their factory workers for now-cancelled goods. 

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, fashion houses have had to cancel a lot of their upcoming productions, often after factory workers have actually made them. And, according to a re/make article published earlier this month, many of these companies, like Global Brands Group (GBG) and Fashion Nova, are refusing to pay their manufacturers, thereby leaving many without pay. These factory workers, many of which are women, are in “the most vulnerable position” right now and on the verge of “starving to death.” 

Mostafiz Uddin is the Managing Director of Denim Experts, a sustainable denim factory. According to him, via re/make, GBG owes him and his team “hundreds of thousands of dollars for products his workers made and shipped in February.” And, sadly, they’re just one of many other factories affected by the fashion industry’s decision. 

“Here my workers are hungry, they are being agitated, they are very angry,” he wrote to GBG. “I have promised them to pay wages. So, please, please make my payment.”

KENDALL X KYLIE 6.26

Although up until the 23rd of June, Kylie + Kendall was listed under the ‘Kids’ brands of GBG, a representative for the brands told Teen Vogue that these claims “are inaccurate.”

“The Kendall + Kylie brand is owned by Canada Inc.,” a spokesperson said. “The brand does not produce in Bangladesh.”

The representative continued to add that while “there was a past relationship with CAA-GBG years ago,” it has been “several years” since their working relationship. Allegedly, re/make has been updated on this and told to “take the brand down from the site.” 

Kylie and Kendall Jenner themselves have yet to comment on the accusations and the impact the fashion industry’s sudden cancelled productions have had on the lives of factory workers around the world. In the meantime, we recommend following Diet Prada for more info.

REPOSTING because we couldn't edit the original any further and y'all seemed to get a kick out of Kylie juxtaposed with "Former 'billionaire'" lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We've been contacted by reps from @kendallandkylie who've refuted the allegations that the brand is not paying its factories, as reported in multiple media outlets over the last week. They stated the following in an e-mail: "The brand is owned by 3072541 Canada Inc. not GBG and we are not currently producing in Bangladesh using Global Brands Group." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As of now, Global Brands Group still lists Kendall + Kylie under their "Brands" section on their website. It's unclear at what point they may have changed licensees and manufacturers. A quick search of 3072541 Canada Inc. led to a closed business page, but searching in conjunction with "Kendall and Kylie" you'll find ties to the brand. Some early press from 2015, and some 2018 legal filings from a lawsuit filed by a photographer against the sisters for using Tupac Shakur's image-remember that? Never forget that they printed their own faces and logos over photos of deceased iconic musicians and tried to charge $125 for them lol, but anyways... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We're awaiting comment from Mostafiz Uddin, a manufacturer for Global Brands who has been very vocal in the news the past week about his cancelled orders. Dieters, what are your thoughts? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * #kendallandkylie #kendallxkylie #kyliejenner #payup #kendalljenner #kylieskin #kyliecosmetics #highgloss #dietprada
