The Anti-Capitalist Book of Fashion

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of fashion and politics, this book reveals how the industry perpetuates inequality, racism, and environmental crises. It critiques the manipulation by fashion brands that foster feelings of inadequacy to drive consumption, benefiting wealthy elites while exploiting garment workers and harming the planet. By connecting the legacies of iconic figures like Karl Lagerfeld and Karl Marx, it advocates for systemic change rather than mere ethical consumerism, urging readers to rethink their relationship with fashion for a sustainable future.
