It's important to not forget that EVERY SINGLE beautiful gown you see was possible due to a structure of abuse: Either black bodies were enslaved, children were abused or a free worker was put through extreme conditions. 💣 It's also important to note that today some companies still do that. Maybe not in London or US but in Brazil and other warmer countries where we produce your food, chocolate, coffee and fabrics. Companies like Nestle and Lacta (Mondelez) were investigated and known for using child labor in 2020 Pará, Brazil ( they also go through the names of Olam International & Barry Callebaut - one of the most expensive chocolates ) Hershey's was also sued for employing child labor in 2015.
