WARDROBE CRISIS: HOW WE WENT FROM SUNDAY BEST TO FAST FASHION

Book ID/图书代码： 01899516B87688

English Summary/英文概要： Who makes your clothes? This used to be an easy question to answer: it was the seamstress next door, or the tailor on the high street – or you made them yourself. Today we rarely know the origins of the clothes hanging in our closets. The local shoemaker, dressmaker and milliner are long gone, replaced by a globalised fashion industry worth $1.5 trillion a year.

In Wardrobe Crisis, fashion journalist Clare Press explores the history and ethics behind what we wear. Putting her insider status to good use, Press examines the entire fashion ecosystem, from sweatshops to haute couture, unearthing the roots of today’s buy-and-discard culture. She traces the origins of icons like Chanel, Dior and Hermès; charts the rise and fall of the department store; and follows the thread that led us from Marie Antoinette to Carrie Bradshaw.

From a time when Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein were just two boys from the Bronx, to the world of the global fashion juggernaut, where Zara’s parent company produces more than 900 million garments annually, Press takes us on an insider’s journey of discovery and revelation.

Wardrobe Crisis is a witty and persuasive argument for a fashion revolution that will empower you to feel good about your wardrobe again.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 谁给你们做衣服？这在过去是个非常简单的问题：是隔壁的裁缝，或是商业街上的裁缝，或是你自己。而现在，我们几乎无法知道自己衣橱里挂的衣服到底从何而来。当地的鞋匠、裁缝、女帽设计师早已不见踪影，取而代之的是每年价值高达1.5万亿美元的全球化时尚行业。

在本书中，时尚记者Clare Press探索了服饰背后的历史和道德问题。她充分利用其内部消息，研究了整个时尚生态系统，从血汗工厂到高级定制，揭开了现在“买完就扔”的文化的根源。她追溯了时尚标志性品牌香奈儿、迪奥、爱马仕等的渊源；记录了百货商店的兴衰；研究了从玛丽皇后到凯利（《欲望都市》女主角）等一系列时尚偶像……

当年，拉尔夫•劳伦和卡尔文•克雷恩还是两个来自布朗克斯的男孩；现在，全球时尚霸主占领了这个世界，Zara母公司每年都要生产9亿多件服饰……作者带领读者深入内部，踏上一场时尚业的发现及探索之旅。

本书语言风趣，极具说服力，希望书中支持的时尚革命能够给你带来力量，让你从新爱上自己的衣橱。(LYR)
