Since protests erupted over George Floyd’s death -- driving people to look in the mirror, re-evaluate the brands they support and question how we got here -- industry professionals have increasingly taken to Twitter to call out the level of wealth required to get a foot in the door in fashion. The common story they’re owning up to includes taking stints at NYC-based companies as an unpaid intern on daddy’s dime.
