@AjaSaysHello @LucyandYak 100% agree and support everything you spoke about! I think it was so important and we all are lucky to have a voice that isn’t afraid to call this out! So sorry you are being heavily effected, but it really shows the worked needed to be done by the brand.
“These motherf***ers know how to exploit people like us. They make profits like hell and pay us in peanuts.” That @boohoo pay people in Leicester less than min wage has been known/reported on for YEARS. They cannot continue to be let off the hook. https://t.co/x84Qxy9Adj
Thank you so much to @themodernmann
for having me on your podcast, to talk about a deeply personal experience in my career as a fashion designer. I have wanted to share this for some time.
NEW - 'THE NIGHT BEFORE THE MEETING'
Lottie was in her early 20s when she was sent, alone, to meet a powerful buyer for a high street fashion brand in China.
They went for a drink.
The next day, they had a meeting.
In our new podcast, she tells @OllyMann what happened in between.
@harriet_isobel@themodernmann@OllyMann Thank you so much for this comment, Harriet. I am so grateful for this space to share my experience and connect with others. Agreed, I love the variety of interesting stories @themodernmann curate in their podcast.
@themodernmann@OllyMann Thank you for covering a story like Lottie's and for letting her tell this story. It was simultaneously shocking and sadly all too familiar to so many women who have similar experiences. Honestly the stories you cover in this podcast are consistently incredible!

@TollyDollyPosh That’s ok, can’t even keep track of the days at the moment haha. Yay, I am so happy it’s nice to wear. Really honoured that your wearing something I made, how cool is that!
@rachsyme Fever Ray - I’m not done - live at the troxy album. It’s a brilliant song for dancing plus I was there almost front row, adds extra feel good points, it was one of the best nights @feverray
@miappareluk All three go hand in hand I would say. But customers can only do so much and then it’s time for company owners to take action and governments to hold them accountable!
