A recent article from Vox reports that "Activists question the true cost of such low prices, which are almost always the result of worker exploitation." And when it comes to Fashion Nova, it owes workers $3.8 million in back pay.
Good On You, which rates brands based on their environmental and social performance, suggests avoiding this fast fashion company for a few reasons. Their site states that none of Fashion Nova's supply chain is certified by labor standards, that there is not much information on its supplier policies, gender equality, or freedom of association, and that it is not clear if the company pays its employees enough on which to live.
All of these claims were further backed up by The New York Times in 2019, in an article which reported that Fashion Nova was apparently underpaying workers and that its factories were under investigation by the U.S. Labor Department.
