Have you ever stopped and wondered where your jeans came from? Who
made them and where? Ever wondered where they end up after you
donate them for recycling? Following a pair of jeans, Clothing
Poverty takes the reader on a vivid around-the-world tour to reveal
how clothes are manufactured and retailed, bringing to light how
fast fashion and recycling are interconnected. Andrew Brooks shows
how recycled clothes are traded across continents, uncovers how
retailers and international charities are embroiled in commodity
chains which perpetuate poverty, and exposes the hidden trade
networks which transect the globe. In this new and updated edition,
Brooks retraces his steps to look at the fashion industry today,
and considers how, if at all, the industry has changed in response
to mounting consumer pressure for more ethical clothing. Stitching
together rich narratives, from Mozambican markets, Nigerian
smugglers and Chinese factories to London's vintage clothing scene,
TOMS shoes and Vivienne Westwood's ethical fashion lines, Brooks
uncovers the many hidden sides of fashion.
