Melbourne-born fashion label Gorman are copping flack on their Instagram account for the first in a series of posts introducing workers who make their clothes.
The post features a photo of a Chinese factory worker holding a sign carrying the words “I made your clothes”.
“Hi, I’m Liao, a knitter at C.Partners factory in China,” the picture is captioned. “I have been working here for 6 years. I love gormans (sic) knit designs, especially the colours.”
The quote is followed by a statement from the brand expressing their pride in the “ethically-sourced” merino knits made by Liao and his team and is accompanied by the hashtag #whomademyclothes.
