Fashion Industry Revolts
About this ebook
Or that movements like punk rock directly influenced alternative aesthetics and social rebellion in fashion? This book offers a fresh perspective on fashion history, moving beyond designer biographies to explore the broader social, economic, and political forces at play.
The book's unique value lies in its focus on collective action and bottom-up change, rather than solely on individual designers. It begins by introducing key concepts like fast fashion and labor exploitation. Then, it progresses through historical protests by garment workers, the impact of counter-cultural movements, and the rise of sustainable fashion. Drawing on archival research, primary sources, and interviews, it demonstrates that genuine change arises from challenging established norms.
Ultimately, Fashion Industry Revolts connects fashion to labor history, sociology, and environmental studies, empowering readers to become active participants in creating a more just and sustainable fashion future. By understanding the revolts that have already occurred, consumers, designers, and policymakers can contribute to positive change within the fashion industry.
