Stores ranging from discounters like Target to fast fashion chains like H&M now offer the newest trends at unprecedentedly low prices. Retailers are producing clothes at enormous volumes in order to drive prices down and profits up, and they've turned clothing into a disposable good. After all, we have little reason to keep wearing and repairing the clothes we already own when styles change so fast and it's cheaper to just buy more.But what are we doing with all these cheap clothes? And more important, what are they doing to us, our society, our environment, and our economic well-being?In Overdressed, Elizabeth L. Cline sets out to uncover the true nature of the cheap fashion juggernaut, tracing the rise of budget clothing chains, the death of middle-market and independent retailers, and the roots of our obsession with deals and steals. 517 $aOverdressed 676 $a338.4774692 700 $aCline$b Elizabeth L.$0766898 702 $aBentley$b Amy Melissa$4nrt 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910155600203321 996 $aOverdressed : The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion$93598884 997 $aUNINA
