It doesn’t matter how hard you try to dress up the fashion industry as empowering to women – it just isn’t. It isn’t empowering to the women at the CMT factory, who would have to work for two weeks solid just to be able to afford the £45 fashion statement in question, and it isn’t empowering to women over a size 16, all of whom would fail to fit into said t-shirt. Last week, Lena Dunham, writer and creator of Girls, was asked what she thought about the t-shirts, and replied that if feminism has to become a brand to make a change, then so be it. (It should be noted that this was before the sweatshop allegations surfaced). Dunham, as ever, makes an interesting point – but if the brand can only succeed at the expense of other, more vulnerable women, then should we want to buy into it at all?
