Fashion news: Karl gets Goofy, Robert Duffy to wed and Nygård connected to factory allegedly practicing human trafficking
Peter Nygård is under fire for using a Jordanian factory that allegedly partakes in human trafficking. According to a National Labor Committee report, the International British Garments factory–which sews Nygård’s Alia, Tan Jay and Investments labels–is said to have taken 1,200 workers’ passports, and “has held them as indentured servants.” Nygård International claims they had no knowledge of the allegations and are launching their own investigation.
