The book is a great resource as an overview of what the sustainable fashion industry currently looks like and what organizations are hoping to promote further action toward a sustainable future.

If you’re looking for a book that looks to tackle the more challenging issues facing the fashion industry and question the importance of consumer behavior in a sustainable context while highlighting fashion vanguards and exploring areas of fashion sustainability that are in their infancy, this probably isn’t the book for that.

Some of the writing is irrelevant and kind of nonsensical. Why would you devote a whole page of a sustainable fashion book to explain the origin of the lightbulb meaning that someone has an idea?!?! Who on Earth needs you to explain what the four seasons are??? Why are you so obsessed with Stella McCartney???

I enjoyed the book in general, however I think it is starting to feel a little dated and out of touch with todays views and movements. There were a lot of references to things that no longer exist or have moved on.

Highly informative and gave me so many great ideas. I learned practices that were going on in the fashion industry that I did not know about which was super duper uber interesting.😋
