A what-if thought

What if every fashion magazine dedicated half of the issue to the people who make the garments.

Because of reading...

 "When fashion designers, journalists, and consumers’ demands for inclusivity stop at the garment factory gates, things like the sweatshop feminist t-shirt (in which t-shirts with messages like 'Girl Power' and 'This is what a feminist looks like' were discovered to have been made in Bangladesh and in Mauritius by women and girls earning less than $1 per hour) are not just predictable but inevitable. Almost all of the clothes we wear—whether they bear feminist messages or not—are made under exploitative trade policies and labor conditions."
