It is a commentary on the state of the fashion industry. The clothing is cheaply through the exploration of labor that is paid an unlivable wage.

Think companies like Shein which have sweatshops for products.

It's not just Shein exploiting foreign labour in inhumane conditions, it's the vast majority of clothing and fashion. From H&M to Target to Nike and even high end brands.

On galley boats thatā€™s how they kept the oarsmen (typically slaves or prisoners) synched up and rowing and the same time. It adds to the ā€œforced laborā€ aspect.

Hollywood example: Ben-Hur, 1959
