A French parliamentary committee starts reviewing a bill on June 17 that seeks to restrict expansion by ultra-fast fashion companies.
Chinese fast-fashion brand Shein is leaving the BHV department store in Paris's Marais district. The move comes after several months of controversy surrounding its presence at the location. High-end brands including Dior and Guerlain also left BHV. Critics said Shein's low-cost and high-turnover operations harmed French retail businesses.
The bill under review aims to curb growth of companies operating on similar models. Lawmakers will examine measures during the committee process that begins today. The review occurs amid ongoing discussions about the effects of rapid-turnover fashion retail in France.
