The article discusses a lawsuit against fashion executive Lisa Kulson by designer John Rangel, who claims he was denied a full-time position due to his cancer survivor status. Rangel worked unpaid for a year to help launch Kulson's fashion line, only to be told investors wouldn't support hiring someone with a cancer background. Following his request for a paid position, he was dismissed shortly before a scheduled surgery. Kulson has not commented on the allegations, which highlight issues of discrimination and exploitation in the fashion industry.
"Rangel, a Parsons grad originally from the Philippines whose work history includes design director gigs at big industry names like Lane Bryant and Full Beauty Brands, was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma in 2020."
"She wants a slave," Rangel, 44, said in an exclusive interview with The Post. "She wants a person who will work with her 24/7 and yet be paid very little, and that was really shocking to me."
