*Selected by Emma Watson for her Ultimate Book List* Fashion is
political. From the red carpets of the Met Gala to online fast
fashion, clothes tell a story of inequality, racism and climate
crisis. In The Anti-Capitalist Book of Fashion, Tansy E. Hoskins
unpicks the threads of capitalist industry to reveal the truth
about our clothes. Fashion brands entice us to consume more by
manipulating us to feel ugly, poor and worthless, sentiments that
line the pockets of billionaires exploiting colonial supply chains.
Garment workers on poverty pay risk their lives in dangerous
factories, animals are tortured, fossil fuels extracted and toxic
chemicals spread just to keep this season's collections fresh. We
can do better than this. Moving between Karl Lagerfeld and Karl
Marx, The Anti-Capitalist Book of Fashion goes beyond ethical
fashion and consumer responsibility showing that if we want to feel
comfortable in our clothes, we need to reshape the system and
ensure this is not our last season.

'Fascinating and eye-opening' OWEN JONES DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR
SHOES COME FROM? DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY GO WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH
THEM? In 2019, 66.6 million pairs of shoes were manufactured across
the world every single day. They have never been cheaper to buy,
and we have never been more convinced that we need to buy them. Yet
their cost to the planet has never been greater. In this urgent,
passionately argued book, Tansy E. Hoskins opens our eyes to the
dark origins of the shoes on our feet. Taking us deep into the
heart of an industry that is exploiting workers and deceiving
consumers, we begin to understand that if we don't act fast, this
humble household object will take us to the point of no return.
