book review – Eco-Chic: The Fashion Paradox
Eco Chic: The Fashion Paradox, by Sandy Black takes a look at the fashionable relevance of sustainable clothing. With beautiful photography, it covers a vast range of eco issues in the fashion world. From the ethics and impacts of certain fibers, to the new eco-friendly trend in fashion, to extreme overconsumption in fashion, the book covers all aspects of eco-conscious fashion. It points to new trends in fashion that are keeping up with environmentally conscious consumers and questions the feasibility of specific environmentally friendly processes.
I really enjoyed the break down of each fiber and it’s environmental impact as well as the section on slowing down fashion – to have pieces that last more than a season. I will continue to come back to this book as a resource as I question my fashion decisions. And I would recommend it as an interesting and educational read.
