The real ‘Made in Bangladesh’

  • The cover of this week’s Weekend Tribune

Dhaka Tribune’s magazine, Weekend Tribune, featured a “Made in Bangladesh” cover this week, as a response to the the American Apparel advertisement that has stirred controversy in the Bangladeshi community.

The cover features Sadaf Siddiqi, representing a positive message about what  “Made in Bangladesh” can mean.

Sadaf, a Bangladeshi raised in the United Kingdom, is the chairperson of SAFE, an organisation that provides emergency disaster relief, which was actively enaged in rescue efforts after Rana Plaza collapsed.

She promotes Bangladeshi culture through her involvement in music, dance, and literature. She also works in the garment industry.

Sadaf was photographed wearing a white jamdani sari, in contrast to the American Apparel advertisement that showed the words “Made in Bangladesh” branded across the bare body of Maks, a Bangladesh-born woman living in Los Angeles.
