Very similar content to "The Conscious Closet" by Elizabeth L. Cline. But good information on shopping for, caring for, and wearing clothes in a more environmentally and socially conscious manner.

About a quarter of the book is just repeating the few key ideas that was mentioned earlier on. I also expected a short conclusion at the end to wrap things up, but there was none of that. Could have had a more satisfying way of ending the book (like a summary or list of ways to become a more conscious fashionista or something).
I did like the tips and illustrations. Well-organised book that was easy to read and offered a lot of insights into the fashion and retail industry in a palatable manner. Real-life examples were also good.

Very clearly lays out tips for decreasing the amount of pollution that goes into clothing - and surprised me in explaining how the fashion industry is the world's second most polluting industry, right behind oil. I wish this book had more specific information in regards to sewing and creating your own wardrobe, not just buying more ethically, or practical tips on making clothing last longer by repairing seams, etc. It gave a good overview, but it wasn't as specific as I would've liked.
