博客來Fast fashion is characterized by two things: a constant cycle of trend-based merchandise, and ridiculously low prices. Today, the effects of this type of fashion production have not only intensified the climate crisis, but have also altered our relationship with clothing. We’ve become passive consumers with too many clothes, and a disposable culture with little respect for the items hanging in our closets. And now for many of us, the value of clothing is defined by its price alone. Would you rather own a wardrobe that expresses your original style, and one that is made with skilled hands and quality materials, or feel unfulfilled by too much stuff? This book will help you make the best clothing choices, that ultimately define your values and expectations by:
- Providing you the knowledge about the characteristics and production processes of the basic component of clothing - fabric.
- Helping you to understand the sustainability challenges facing the fashion industry, and giving you practical tips on becoming a more conscious, ethical shopper.
- Recognizing the ingredients of quality clothing, and how to care for your treasures.
You can create a mindful style, and at the same time do good for the planet, and honour the process of making clothing. If you want to stop the deal hunting, and develop a greater appreciation for the clothes on your back - this book is for you.
