She exposes the naked truth behind the clothes we wear, exploring alternate practices and assessing their feasibility.Using case studies of designers from the catwalks and the high street, including Katharine Hamnett, Marks and Spencer and Linda Loudermilk, the book illustrates how these processes are finding their way into the industry, and shows how ethical fashion has moved on from its traditional connotations of hemp shirts and rope sandals.Fashion and environmental awareness are two concerns that do not comfortably sit side by side.
