Publisher's Summary
What should I wear? More than ever, we are told it should be something new. Today, the clothing industry churns out 80 billion garments a year and employs every sixth person on Earth. Historically, the apparel trade has exploited labour, the environment and intellectual property.
Best-selling journalist Dana Thomas has travelled the globe to discover the visionary designers and companies who are reclaiming traditional craft and launching cutting-edge sustainable technologies to produce better fashion. Thomas sees renewal in a host of developments, including printing 3-D clothes, clean denim processing, smart manufacturing, fabric recycling - even lab-grown materials. From small-town makers and Silicon Valley whizzes to household names such as Stella McCartney, Levi's and Selfridges, Thomas highlights the companies big and small that are leading the crusade.
An investigation into the damage wrought by the colossal clothing industry - and the grassroots, high tech, international movement fighting to reform it.

informative
very informative, the only thing I dont like is how the author describes the physical appearance of the person she's interviewing - its a bit shallow.

A MUST READ!
I loved the semplicity but yet the complexity described about the fashion business.but instead of becoming very critical about fashion it gives you a lot of solutions and positive information about what is happening right now. incredible a must read.

Interesting but at times a bit tedious
As a self confessed fashionista who is embracing a new minimalist and sustainable wardrobe, i found this book at times quite difficult to stay enthusiastic. mostly an interesting listen, with lots of great stories about where modern fashion is heading.
