Exploring the intricate histories behind the textiles we wear, the book delves into five key materials: Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics, and Wool. It contrasts the opulence of historical fashion with the stark realities of modern garment production, highlighting environmental degradation and labor exploitation in the industry. Yet, it also celebrates the resurgence of ethical practices among small-scale textile makers worldwide. Through extensive research and compelling anecdotes, the narrative reveals the deep cultural and historical roots of our clothing choices.
