When boohoo's panel event opened yesterday in London to discuss 'ethical clothing and industry collaboration', senior representatives were met by a storm of protestors disrupting the show. The fair fashion campaigners took action to express solidarity with the brand's garment workers.
Venetia La Manna was the first of eight women to stand up and criticise them, shouting: "Why aren't your garment makers on this panel?" before being escorted out by security. The Manchester-based company faced a 'slavery scandal' in 2020 after reports found some of their UK staff were on less than minimum wage and working in poor conditions.
