Fast fashion and disposable clothing have become our new norms. We buy ten-dollar shoes from Target that disintegrate within a month and make weekly pilgrimages to Forever 21 and H&M. Elizabeth Cline argues that this rapid cycle of consumption isn't just erasing our sense of style and causing massive harm to the environment and human rights - it's also bad for our souls. Cline documents her own transformation from fast-fashion addict to conscientious shopper. She takes a long look at her overstuffed closet, resoles her cheap imported boots, travels to the world's only living-wage garment factory, and seeks out cutting-edge local and sustainable fashion, all on her journey to find antidotes to out-of-control shopping. Cline looks at the impact here and abroad of America's drastic increase in inexpensive clothing imports, visiting cheap-chic factories in Bangladesh and China and exploring the problems caused by all those castoffs we donate to the Salvation Army. She also shows how consumers can vote with their dollars to grow the sustainable clothing industry, reign in the conventional apparel market, and wear their clothes with pride.

出发点很好，内容很丰富，但落脚点太局限了。身为中国人，除了前言后记的概括，只觉得关于中国那章值得反复阅读思考。
评分Cline did a good job on glossing over the issues that surround fast fashion. It's okay…after thinking about it. It is a great book to begin reading about the fashion industry, but this doesn't delve deep enough. Cline talks over her problems with owning so much clothing that I can't relate. I don't shop impulsively and I don't find it enjoying.
评分In this revealing and thoughtful look at clothing and consumerism, author Elizabeth Cline sets out to reform how we look at fashion and how we shop for clothing. After purchasing SEVEN pairs of flats from KMart in 2009, Cline decided to take a hard look at why she, like so many other Americans (and Canadians), buys so many clothes.
评分本书涉及了二十年来快时尚逐渐占领服装市场主流的现象和原因、它与高端时尚的“媾和”、美国人服装消费习惯的变迁、过剩/废弃服饰的回收与处理、未来时尚业回复“慢”的趋势等等，并有作者对中国、孟加拉等第三世界服装加工厂的实地考察记录，适合对消费文化作为一个现象有兴趣的读者。不足之处跟几年前读的Deluxe一书一样，资本社会中的美国人虽然对表层问题的批判意识很强，却无法指出问题的根源存在于资本扩张的本质之中。所以很遗憾，本书作者的解决办法又是回到微观和终端，号召读者花更多的钱买更好的东西、支持本土服装业、自己学会动手修补衣饰，诸如此类。这并非不对，但离题太远。
评分出发点很好，内容很丰富，但落脚点太局限了。身为中国人，除了前言后记的概括，只觉得关于中国那章值得反复阅读思考。
