Book synopsis

Have you have stopped and wondered where your jeans came from? Who made them and where? Ever wondered where they end up after you donate them for recycling? Following the journey of a pair of jeans Clothing Poverty takes the reader on a vivid around the world tour to reveal how clothes are manufactured and retailed bringing to light how fast-fashion and clothing recycling are interconnected. Andrew Brooks shows how recycled clothes are traded across continents and uncovers how fast-fashion retailers and international charities are embroiled in commodity chains which perpetuate poverty and exposes the hidden trade networks which transect the globe. Stitching together rich narratives from Mozambican markets, Nigerian smugglers, Bolivian female traders, to London's vintage clothing scene and Vivienne Westwood's ethical fashion lines Brooks uncovers the many hidden sides of fashion.
