Naked Fashion: The New Sustainable Fashion Revolution

 

Description*

Naked Fashion invites you to join the movement of consumers, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals who are using their purchasing power, talents, and experience to make fashion more sustainable.

Anyone with an active interest in fashion and where our clothes come from or looking for a career in fashion and the media will find inspiration and advice on how to make a difference.

 

 

Designers and creatives from all over the world—including photographers, models, illustrators, actors, and journalists—talk about what they are doing differently to make fashion more sustainable:

• Emma Watson explains why fair trade fashion is so important to her
• Summer Rayne Oakes describes how she took on the model agencies
• Vivienne Westwood talks high-fashion without the high stakes for the planet

 

Inside you will find fair trade and environment, styling and modeling, up-cycling and "slow" fashion, how we can change the high street, an ethical brand directory, and stunning visuals throughout.

Review*

By Lucy Siegle and Livia Firth:

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.
