'A gripping blockbuster ... Thomas researches meticulously and
writes with simmering even-handed anger' TELEGRAPH. Fashionopolis
is the definitive book on the cost of fast fashion, and a blueprint
for how we get to a more sustainable future. Fashion has blighted
our planet. Today, one out of six people on earth work in fashion,
churning out 100 billion garments a year. Yet 98 percent of them do
not earn a living wage, and 2.1 billion tonnes of clothing is
thrown away annually. The clothing industry's exploitation of
fellow humans and the environment has reached epic levels. What
should we do? Bestselling author and veteran journalist Dana Thomas
has travelled the globe to find the answers. In Fashionopolis, she
details the damage wrought by fashion's behemoths, and celebrates
the visionaries - including activists, artisans, designers, and
tech entrepreneurs - fighting for change. We all have been casual
about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention.
Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.
Reviews: 'Fascinating ... Powerful ... Thomas has succeeded in
calling attention to the major problems of the fashion industry'
New York Times 'Thomas takes a story most of us think we know, but
tells it better and in compelling, readable detail' The Times
'Engaging and thorough ... Fashionopolis has implications beyond
cloth and thread' Financial Times 'Thomas is a conscientious
reporter - as evidenced in her research, which is studded with
statistics' Times Literary Supplement
