Product Description
Review
'Every page turns the conventional view of the fashion landscape upside down, gives it a good shake and (charmingly) disposes the offending idea in the nearest trash can. Instead we are offered just about the most inspiring alternative models imaginable. And this is genuinely liberating.' From the foreword by Lucy Siegle and Livia Firth 'Insightful, inspiring... a book I will be recommending to all students of fashion.' - Caryn Franklin, style guru, presenter, writer and campaigner. 'Showing fashion at its worst while providing upbeat solutions is a tough call but Safia Minney has achieved it with Naked Fashion.' - The Ecologist. 'If sustainable goods are your thing, this is an enticing guide to the growing fair-trade fashion movement.' - Christina Binkley, Wall St Journal.

Format:Paperback
This book gives a fascinating insight into the functioning and malfunctioning of the fashion industry and has suggestions for ways of making it more ethical and satisfying for many of those involved, from producers to consumers. The use of short interviews with a wide variety of people from all parts of the fashion chain and the many beautiful images throughout make it a pleasure to dip into. What the book has to say is worth thinking about for those in the fashion industry and the man/woman in the street who wears the clothes. This book is very visually pleasing while stimulating thought on an important matter - a campaigning coffee-table book!

A great insight into the lives of the people who design and produce fair trade clothes. I really do not want to wear anything that has been made at the expensive of people working in sweat shops, living in slumps and putting children into child labour. Thank you Safia for this fantastic book- a highly informative and far reaching read.

This book had plenty of beautiful photographs, and a lot of interesting information about sweatshop labor and sustainable fashion... but I came away feeling like I'd just read one LONG ad for the People Tree company. I think every interview was with a People Tree collaborator, model, makeup artist, etc.. The book did reference some other sustainable companies and tried to deliver an important message, but I still felt a bit tricked.
