Hoskins dissects fashion’s vampiric relationship with the planet and with our bodies to uncover what makes it so damaging. Why does ‘size zero’ exist and what is the reality of working life for models? In a critique of the portrayal of race in fashion, the book also examines the global balance of power in the industry. Beautifully illustrated with specially commissioned designs, In a compelling conclusion Stitched Up explores the use of clothing to resist. Can you shock an industry that loves to shock? Is ‘green fashion’ an alternative? Stitched Up provides a unique critical examination of contemporary culture and the distorting priorities of capitalism.Counterfire (Series)Clothing tradeSocial aspectsClothing tradePolitical aspectsClothing tradeEnvironmental aspectsFashionSocial aspectsFashionPolitical aspectsConsumption (Economics)Social aspectsClothing tradeSocial aspects.Clothing tradePolitical aspects.Clothing tradeEnvironmental aspects.FashionSocial aspects.FashionPolitical aspects.Consumption (Economics)Social aspects.263Hoskins Tansy E1094008MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807086903321Stitched up4063242UNINA
