Many books on sustainable fashion tend to only briefly cover overarching problems, such as knowing where clothes have been made and under what conditions. However, journalist Benson (coauthor, Fashion Styling, 2nd Ed.) discusses each issue expertly and with enough information for readers to become knowledgeable on the subject. From the table of contents to the index, every section is highly organized, easy to follow, and pleasing to read. There are even specific organizations listed for readers who wish to become more involved in sustainable fashion causes. Interviews, recipes, and DIY tips are sprinkled throughout. While the section on stitches lacks pictures of them, overall this is a perfect ready reference to either flip through for needed information or read from cover to cover.
VERDICT Consider this a personal trainer for sustainable fashion and feasible, environmentally friendly lifestyles. It can also easily complement library collections in fashion design, home economics, or crafts.
