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 Hermès;
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.
