We know fashion is bad for the planet, so why are we still shopping? As a former fashion editor for streetwear publication Highsnobiety and the founder of sustainable fashion platform @future__dust, I feel like I'm in a good place to figure that out. I wrote this book to explain why we love to shop so much, how fashion keeps us hungry for more, and the tricks it plays to cover up its true impact on the planet. It's a journey touching on consumerism, sneaker hype, greenwashing, Karl Marx, mindfulness and everything in between. The result is a manifesto for a slower, more intentional approach to fashion, one that redefines what shopping is - and what it isn't.
For a very quick read this book does a great job at outlining the reasons many people are obsessed with fashion, the harm the industry does to people and the environment, and offers some ways we can reduce the harm our clothing does.
