Protesters Call Selena Gomez to Stop Promoting Sweatshops at Fashion Show The 20-year-old starlet was there on behalf of the Adidas NEO label, to which she was recently named style ambassador, to support the teen bloggers who ran the runway with stylish outfits and seasonal trends. Outside, a girl dressed in fake Adidas gear distributed anti-sweatshop fliers to the flowing crowd. The fliers showed children from Indonesia and read "Selena Gomez: Be an ambassador for children, not for sweatshops." "We managed to win tickets to this event, so we planned to try to get the message out," said Claire Lewis, a student at Northeastern University and member of The United Students Against Sweatshops group, to Fox News Latino. "Adidas wasn't super happy with that." "It's a code of conduct violation," Lewis said. "We're not trying to bad-mouth Selena Gomez at all. We think she would care about this issue if she knew about it. We decided to come here to where we knew she would be." Along with the protesters were a husband and wife who worked in an Adidas factory in Indonesia for over 22 years. They said the factory shut down two years ago and Adidas has refused to pay their severance.
