Manual anticapitalista de la moda

Fashion is political. From the Met Gala red carpet to online fast fashion, clothing tells a story of inequality, racism, and the climate crisis. Hoskins unravels the threads of the capitalist industry to reveal how fashion brands incite us to consume more by manipulating us into feeling ugly, poor, and worthless—feelings that line the pockets of billionaires who exploit colonial supply chains. She also reveals how garment workers earning poverty wages risk their lives in dangerous factories, animals are tortured, fossil fuels are extracted, and toxic chemicals are sprayed just to keep this season's collections fresh. On the other hand, the author explores the use of clothing as a form of resistance. Can you shock an industry that loves to shock? Is "green fashion" an alternative? This book offers a critical examination of contemporary culture and the priorities of capitalism. Moving between Karl Lagerfeld and Karl Marx, The Anti-Capitalist Manual of Fashion goes beyond ethical fashion and consumer responsibility, showing that if we want to feel comfortable in our clothes, we need to transform the system and make sure this isn't our last season.
