“Cheap Chic is the New Black’- A Discussion of Who is
responsible for Sweatshops’

This thesis explores the responsibility of the five main
stakeholders in the garment industry regarding sweatshops
and the new fad for cheap, fast fashion. The realisation of
my own contribution to the existence of sweatshops as a
consumer fuelled a desire to raise my own awareness of
the unethical conditions which are prevalent throughout the
industry. The study examines the present and potential roles
played by retailers, contractors, the government, consumers
and workers in this complex multidirectional system. With
each stakeholder liable to both blame and praise - who is
it that holds the greatest responsibility for the employment
and welfare of this child?” (Rebecca Moore, 2008)
