    “Book Descriptions: We know fashion is bad for the planet, so
    why are we still shopping?
    As a former fashion editor for streetwear
    publication Highsnobiety and the founder of
    sustainable fashion platform @future__dust,
    I feel like I'm in a good place to figure that out.
    I wrote this book to explain why we love to
    shop so much, how fashion keeps us hungry
    for more, and the tricks it plays to cover up
    its true impact on the planet.
    It's a journey touching on consumerism,
    sneaker hype, greenwashing, Karl Marx,
    mindfulness and everything in between.
    The result is a manifesto for a slower, more
    intentional approach to fashion, one that
    redefines what shopping is - and what it isn't.”
