i've always loved daisy fuentes for her beautiful looks and equally beautiful personality. but this, yall? this is ugly! according to wgsn.com, a sweatshop in guatamela claims that clothes from fuentes' clothing collection , which is sold exclusively at kohl's, are manufactured there. charles kernaghan, executive director of new york's national labor committee says conditions at the sweatshop are "abusive and illegal." allegedly, workers are paid $0.25 for each shirt daisy sells (these are valued between $22 and $38), and workers are forced to work 60 hour weeks. the name of the factory is fribo sa apparel factory in santiago sacatepequez, and also produced clothing sold at wet seal and the dress barn.
