Ludvig Hambro, Anniken Jorgensen and Frida Ottensen are fashionable consumers who were chosen to experience what it is like to work in the typical sweatshop for a whole month. A few big chain retailers have been famously called out for engaging in crude corporate practices, particularly for utilizing sweatshops like the one featured in Sweatshop: Dead Cheap Fashion .
