Description

A critical examination of the damage wrought by the colossal clothing industry and the grassroots, high-tech, international movement fighting to reform it. What should I wear? It’s one of the fundamental questions we ask ourselves every day, and today the clothing industry churns out about 80 billion garments a year and employs roughly one in six people on Earth. Historically, the apparel trade has exploited labor, the environment, and intellectual property—and in the last three decades, with fast fashion, globalization, and the tech revolution, those abuses have multiplied. Bestselling journalist Dana Thomas travels the globe to discover visionary designers and companies propelling the industry toward a more positive future by reclaiming traditional craft and launching cutting-edge sustainable technologies. Fashionopolis explores developments such as 3-D-printed clothes, cleaner denim processing, smart manufacturing, hyperlocal production, fabric recycling, and even lab-grown materials. From small-town makers to Silicon Valley innovators, including Stella McCartney, Levi’s, and Rent the Runway, Thomas highlights the firms leading the crusade. We have all been casual about our clothes; it’s time to dress with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start reform.
