Uh oh!
Kendall and Kylie Jenner are in hot water after a report by @diet_prada revealed factory workers who produce their namesake clothing line are allegedly still waiting on unpaid wages for an order which was canceled.

While we may only associate Ky with her successful Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin empire, she and big sis Kenny went into business together way back in 2015 to launch Kendall + Kylie. It’s unclear what involvement the girls have today in the brand other than modeling the clothes, but this definitely isn’t a good look!!
Per the fashion watchdog account, Global Brands Group, which runs the label behind the scenes, announced back in March that thanks to the pandemic any outstanding SS20 production orders for their brands would be canceled with suppliers. This was despite some already being produced:
“Garment workers are some of the most vulnerable people in the world, even outside a pandemic, and COVID threatened more than just their health. Slow retail sales led to stores cancelling vendor orders, which led to vendors cancelling factory orders. This turned into lost capitol for the factories, which leaves garment workers, who are often on the brink of poverty, not getting paid. Orders were cancelled that had already been produced, also leaving factories on the hook to raw goods suppliers.”
Yikes!!
With stores starting to reopen now, we can only hope the money will start flowing in again (not like the KarJenner fam needs it), but factory workers are still stuck waiting on these payments in the meantime. The pandemic has had a massive fallout across so many industries, but it’s not like these two can’t reach into their own pockets and make amends, right?! What a mess!!
This report comes ahead of a much-awaited makeup collaboration between Kris Jenner‘s youngest daughters launching with Kylie Cosmetics later this week. And let’s not forget that it was just revealed Stormi Webster‘s momma may or may not be a billionaire after all! See the full post HERE.
Still, commentators are here for the exposure!! Here are a few messages:
“Amén! Sustainability goes beyond the material.”
@kyliejenner @kendalljenner what are you doing about this situation to make sure these vulnerable factories and their workers get paid?”
“Thank you for this. Sooo many @companies aren’t paying the factories that already have terrible pay and inhumane conditions. PAY YOUR FACTORIES”
“Smdh, white privilege at its finest”
“Who bought their clothes anyway ? Like seriously”
Many critics have already taken to the latest posts on the @kendallandkylie profile to share similar sentiments, but it’s unclear if we’ll get a response from the sisters at this point.
What are your thoughts on this, Perezcious readers?? Let us know (below) in the comments!!
