abstract: "In a climate of increasing anxiety about the environmental and social impact of the contemporary global fashion industry, Rachel Worth explores 'hidden' aspects of the life of clothing - the historical contexts and processes that have influenced our clothing choices. She argues that understanding the past can help us address the challenges we face today in making more 'sustainable' decisions about the contents of our wardrobes and reconnect us with the intrinsic aesthetic qualities of our clothes, and who makes them. Drawing on the social history of dress, philosophy, fictional literature and current thinking in economics, 'The Hidden Life of Clothing' does not offer simplistic solutions, but does explore ways in which it might be possible to bridge divides between a knowledge of the past, current individual choice, and new direction for future action."--Page 4 of cover.
