How To Break Up With Fast Fashion: A guilt-free guide to changing the way you shop - for good (Hardback)
Lauren Bravo (author)Published: 09/01/2020
With both serious repercussions for the environment and global inequality, fast, mass-produced clothing is one of the most pernicious obsessions embraced by the West. In this revelatory guide, Bravo demonstrates how we can all shop more ethically and sustainably and how a passion for fashion doesn’t mean we have to perpetuate a rotten, damaging industry.
You probably know the statistics: global clothing production has roughly doubled in just 15 years, and every year an estimated 300,000 tonnes of used clothing ends up in UK landfill.
Fast fashion is the ultimate toxic relationship. It's bad news for the planet, our brains and our bank balances. We can't go on like this; our shopping habits need an overhaul.
Journalist Lauren Bravo loves clothes more than anything, but she's called time on her affair with fast fashion in search of a slower, saner way of dressing. In this book, she'll help you do the same.
How To Break Up With Fast Fashion will help you to change your mindset, fall back in love with your wardrobe and embrace more sustainable ways of shopping - from the clothes swap to the charity shop. Full of refreshing honesty and realistic advice, Lauren will inspire you to repair, recycle and give your unloved items a new lease of life without sacrificing your style.
Because fashion belongs to everyone, but no outfit should cost us the earth.

“Full of insightful knowledge and equally hilarious!”
What I loved about this book was the way Lauren wrote it like she was talking to a friend. It is a completely non judgemental, non preachy and equally hilarious book with stories of her past life as a slave to fast... More
