## Resource

A fashion designer accused of exploiting her own staff, Andrea Mary Marshall, faces serious charges for allegedly withholding nearly $54,000 in wages from nine employees at her high-profile Garment District studio. Prosecutors say workers were forced to labor up to 17 hours a day, sometimes over 100 hours in a week, without proper pay — some even begged for partial payments to cover medical bills and support family abroad. Marshall, who founded Salon 1884 and was featured in Vogue, allegedly controlled every aspect of her employees’ schedules and compensation, using cash, checks, and even clothing as payment. The case, now in Manhattan Supreme Court, underscores a broader struggle for fair labor practices in the fashion industry, with authorities urging others to come forward — regardless of immigration status. Marshall pleaded not guilty. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
