Description

You look excellent in the ones jeans. But are the ones jeans themselves good? Have you ever ever looked into where they came from and who made them?

Andrew Brooks has, and with Clothing Poverty he is taking readers on a global journey, from fabric to fashion show, to expose the world wide commodity chains and hidden trade networks that transect the globe and perpetuate poverty. Stitching in combination wealthy narratives from markets in Mozambique, Nigerian smugglers, Bolivian traders, London vintage stores, and growing ethical fashion lines like Vivienne Westwood’s, Brooks draws connections and shines light on the earth’s dark corners―and forces us to think anew about fashion, ethics, and our role in global production and exploitation.
