What to wear and why : your guilt-free guide to sustainable fashion / Tiffanie Darke.
"Love fashion but feel guilty? You're not alone. The art of getting dressed should bring so much joy, but many of us are waking up to some uncomfortable truths about the way our clothes are made. Of the 80 billion garments produced per year, many end up in landfills. While the clothing industry employs 15 percent of the world's population, it regularly exploits its workers. And although fashion produces many beautiful and desirable things, it is also a serious polluter of the environment. However, the good news is we can change this. As consumers, we have the power to make a difference with the choices we make. In What to Wear and Why, top fashion writer turned sustainability activist Tiffanie Darke sheds light on the unsustainable practices and environmental impact of the fashion industry, while providing a map to how we can enjoy fashion more responsibly. Drawing on her extensive experience and expertise, Darke offers practical guidance on how to shop, how to build a sustainable wardrobe, and how to choose fashion brands and artisans who are doing good things. She celebrates those who are changing the industry, from environmental activists to sustainable fashion pioneers, giving us examples of how fashion and sustainability can work in the real world. Whether you're a fashionista who cares passionately about sustainability, an environmental advocate seeking to learn more about the impact of fashion, or simply someone who wants to be a part of the change, What to Wear and Why is your go-to guide to a more sustainable future."-- Dust jacket flap.
