Product Description
Eco-Chic: The Fashion Paradox is a fascinating and pertinent examination of the relationship between fashion and environmental awareness. A new wave of sustainable shopping, affordable clothing, and ecological thinking has allowed eco-designers to create high-end, design-led collections rather than merely environmentally sympathetic garments. Eco-Chic aims to combat the preconceived idea of eco-fashion as a compromise in style and quality and place eco-fashion where it belongs, at the forefront of design. Leading academic Sandy Black's absorbing and extensive analysis of fashion and ethical practice exposes the naked truth behind the clothes we wear. Using case studies of designers including Katharine Hamnett, Marks and Spencer and Linda Loudermilk, Black illustrates how the fashion industry is changing to accommodate the environmental concerns of the twenty-first century.

Eco-Chic Review, 12 Nov 2008
By A. Cooley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eco-chic: The Fashion Paradox (Paperback)
This book is a great introduction to the industry at large and all the channels and players involved. It gives well researched descriptions of strategies and initiatives taken on by various designers and entrepreneurs. It also has great resource listing at the back that will lead you to more current information. It's a must for fashion designers and industry professionals. I'm using it as a starting block for my thesis on sustainable fashioning.

Ground breaking, 27 Feb 2010
By S. Brown - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eco-chic: The Fashion Paradox (Paperback)
The first and still the best book on eco fashion, not clothing, not apparel, not mixed in with interior design, but eco fashion. THE must have book on the topic and the standard all others are judged by.

Eco-Chic: The Fashion Paradox, 9 Oct 2011
By edynaye - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eco-chic: The Fashion Paradox (Paperback)
As a graduate student I am using this book as a foundation for my research on sustainable fashion. It is an excellent resource that covers a range of topics related to the fashion life cycle and the fashion industry as a whole. This book is packed with information but easy to read. I am also using Sustainable Fashion: Why Now? by Janet Hethorn and Connie Ulasewicz along with this book.Sustainable Fashion: Why Now?: A Conversation Exploring Issues, Practices, and Possibilities
