Shein's Influencer Trip Sparks Backlash Over Exploitation Claims.

Shein, a controversial fast fashion brand, flew six US-based influencers to China and Singapore on their dime to promote their brand. The influencers, who were mostly non-white and plus-size, were treated well and toured a Shein factory, which they praised despite Shein's known poor working conditions. The influencers' genuine excitement was exploited by Shein, who knew they were grateful to be included. One of the influencers, a plus-size white woman, later took accountability for her actions and noted how her identity affected her choice to accept the trip.
