Sustainable Wardrobe : Practical advice and projects for eco-friendly fashion (Sustainable Living Series)

'An informative resource for fashionistas looking to dress sustainably without resorting to the “beige, boxy, and boring” repurposed clothes of yesteryear.' – Publishers Weekly 'Delivered with easy simplicity to make understanding even the most convoluted aspects of the fashion industry possible.' – ForeWord Reviews 'The first of the series that I've read and I'm so impressed I'm going to find and purchase other books in the series.' – 5* Reader Review Sustainable Wardrobe gives you everything you need to cultivate a more sustainable, ethical and planet-friendly wardrobe that is still easy, accessible and affordable! Statistics show that how we are consuming, maintaining and discarding our clothing is having a devastating effect on the planet. There are problems with every part of the cycle and they won't be fixed overnight. So what can we actually do to make a difference? The answer is that if we all take small steps to improve our habits, it would collectively result in a big change, and this book teaches us exactly how to do this! Sophie Benson, a journalist specialising in sustainable fashion, will guide you through – breaking down the issues and explaining how we can mitigate them at home: from the clothes we purchase, to the way we care for them, to how we dispose of them. With easy tutorials to follow (how to read a label and have a conscious closet clear out, upcycling hacks, how to darn socks and how to care for your jeans), Sophie will show you that small changes in habit can result in a more sustainable, eco-friendly wardrobe without breaking the bank.
