Kylie and Kendall Jenner have issued a statement they hope will shed light on a story which says that they exploited workers in Bangladesh to create their clothing line.
Full story below….
A report published in ‘Remake’ claims that the sisters’ collaborators Global Brands Group refused to its garment suppliers “for orders produced in February and March following a drop in sales caused by the coronavirus pandemic.”
Kylie and Kendall’s company was still registered as one of the group’s partners at the time.
This week, they have issued a statement responding to the story.
We would like to address the unfortunate and incorrect rumor that Global Brands Group owns the Kendall + Kylie brand and that we have neglected to pay factory workers in Bangladesh as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,
The Kendall + Kylie brand is owned by 3072541 Canada Inc., not GBG. The brand has worked with CAA-GBG in the past in a sales and business development capacity only, but we do not currently have any relationship at all with GBG.
We know these are trying times for the fashion industry and garment workers as a whole, and we continue to support all of our partners working in the factories who produce our products. We manufacture in countries all over the world and have not received any concerns from the factories who produce our goods.
Kylie Cosmetics added…
There is a rumor that some people are perpetuating online, which is unfortunate. The Kendall and Kylie CLOTHING BRAND do NOT MANUFACTURE anything in Bangladesh and ‘Kendall and Kylie’ is NOT CURRENTLY ASSOCIATED WITH GLOBAL BRAND GROUP. We feel terrible that this problem exists, but this rumor regarding the Kendall and Kylie clothing brand is completely untrue,
