I was in fashion industry for about 10 years and it's not fair that forever 21 gets all the blame for copying other designers. The most obvious one is Zara and why isn't anyone complaining about them? fashion is all about copying each other. In designer's world, they call it inspiration and they get away with it.

"Forever 21's customers don't care about the ethics of it" If she wants to talk about ethics, talk about how detrimental fast fashion is to the environment and workers around the world

Once I literally got a 2 piece shorts set from romwe for a concert like a month later a friend of mine had it I asked how it fit and if she got it from romwe she said it was from Forever 😅

i also heard about child labor which is the reason why its cheap material and poorly made which is why i never really shooped there for the material and all the rumors/ stories ive heard from there.

[haha-nhgh]

Look at other fashion companies. They do worse than this.

Forever 21 is pretty dirty company regarding the payment.
