The ultimate wardrobe guide for fashionistas who care
Lindsay Baker, BBC Culture
Reportedly, the clothing industry produces 80 billion garments a year, employs 15 percent of the world's population, exploits labor, and seriously pollutes the environment. However, we as consumers have the power to make a difference with the clothing choices
we make.
In What to Wear and Why, top fashion writer turned sustainability activist Tiffanie Darke sheds light on the unsustainable practices and immense environmental impact of the fashion industry and presents a compelling argument for why transformative change is urgently needed.
Drawing on her extensive fashion experience and expertise, Darke offers: practical guidance on how we as consumers can make a difference in the industry's environmental impact; celebrates environmental activists and sustainable fashion pioneers; casts vision for how fashion sustainability can work in your real life. Whether you're a fashionista, an environmental advocate, or simply someone who wants to be a part of the change, What to Wear and Why is your guide!
“The author buttresses her savvy insider’s perspective with extensive research, resulting in an account that identifies fast fashion’s harms while celebrating clothes as a source of “confidence and self-identity, imagination and fantasy.” Fashionistas would do well to check this out.”

look at your closet’s contents in the same way ever again!”

"I very much enjoyed reading this book – the writing style is easy and fun, like a fashion magazine, and addresses the real concerns and reasons why buying fashion makes people happy. Darke avoids shaming, while offering some real directives on how to recalibrate our relationship with fashion and our wardrobes.”
