About this product

Product Information

Who makes your clothes? This used to be an easy question to answer it was the seamstress next door, or the tailor on the high street--or you made them yourself. Today, we rarely know the origins of the clothes hanging in our closets. The local shoemaker, dressmaker, and milliner are long gone, replaced a globalized fashion industry worth $1.5 trillion a year. In Wardrobe Crisis, fashion journalist Clare Press explores the history and ethics behind what we wear. Putting her insider status to good use, Press examines the entire fashion ecosystem, from sweatshops to haute couture, unearthing the roots of today's buy-and-discard culture. She traces the origins of icons like Chanel, Dior, and Hermes; charts the rise and fall of the department store; and follows the thread that led us from Marie Antoinette to Carrie Bradshaw. Wardrobe Crisis is a witty and persuasive argument for a fashion revolution that will empower you to feel good about your wardrobe again.

Reviews
"Sustainability is a buzzword in fashion right now, for good reason. Clare's book raises fascinating questions about conscious consumerism and the positive role fashion can play." --Jackie Frank, publisher, Marie Claire "The best antidote to our current Wardrobe Crisis is to be a mindful consumer in the first place ... Clare lives and breathes fashion, and delivers a persuasive argument for its power as a both a creative force and an agent for change.' -Sarah Wilson "Clare Press effortlessly combines her incredible industry knowledge with a unique writing style that completely resonates with me." -Eva Galambos, Parlour X " Wardrobe Crisis will persuade you to shop smart and give you the tools to pull it off.' - Yen, "A must-read for anyone who has ever questioned why clothes matter. This richly intelligent book explains the importance of who makes our clothes and what you are revealing by your fashion choices. Fascinating!" --Anne Sebba, author of Les Parisiennes and That Woman "I loved reading Clare's book, and I go back to it often. It's insightful, compelling and a real source of reference. It is obviously written from an insider's point of view, which makes it so relevant, and it takes you on a journey to expand your fashion horizons." --Orsola de Castro, co-founder of Fashion Revolution "Today, it's impossible for us to remain willfully blind to the issues Clare highlights in Wardrobe Crisis . Her commentary and guidance is lighthearted but hard-hitting, and so enabling in its exploration of sustainability as a norm, not a trend. A great read. Thoroughly enjoyed it!" --Margaret Zhang, photographer, director, stylist, writer, "Sustainability is a buzzword in fashion right now, for good reason.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
