Reviews

"An engaging and well-argued exposé of the fashion system. There is no scolding to put readers on the defensive; instead, the approachable tone gives a 'we're in this together' feeling. There is plenty of factual background, along with practical and actionable tips to make an immediate change to the way readers relate to their wardrobes." --Library Journal

"I absolutely fell in love with Tiffanie's writing and her way of inspiring consumers to be in charge of their own responsible fashion journey. She inspires us to participate in responsible fashion by shining a light on the stories that our clothes and our choices of clothes are telling." --Annette Felder, designer, Felder + Felder

"Thank you, Tiffanie Darke. It's the book all us guilty normals have been waiting for. An informed fashion sustainability primer that reads with the accessible sass and charge of a magazine article. It will give you x-ray specs on your wardrobe without leaving you feeling weighed down by shame." --Kate Spicer, journalist, Financial Times and The Times

"Tiffanie cuts through all the green-washing hype and lets you know the real cost of your wardrobe. You'll never look at your closet's contents in the same way ever again!" --Patrick Cox, designer

"Tiffanie's writing on sustainability in fashion is clear-eyed and rigorous, but she also captures vividly the life-enhancing joy of fashion in everyday life--and how we can achieve that joy mindfully." --Lindsay Baker, BBC Culture

"Tiffanie's writing brings a fresh, sexy, and informative look into the current fashion climate and how sustainability needs to be at the forefront of every conversation. Every word Tiffanie writes is captivating, and her work couldn't be more important for educating consumers, challenging brands, and celebrating those who are already leading us down a path of sustainability." --Emily Fenver, aka The Landerline

"Fashion is such a powerful, creative, and entertaining force. I love how Tiffanie champions it and also has a clear vision about how we can all build a more sustainable future for our wardrobes and cherish the things we have for the long haul." --Anne-Marie Curtis, editor in chief, The Calendar Magazine

"Tiffanie is a brilliant chronicler of all things fashion and brings her deep experience as a top-flight editor to explaining how the industry works and how our buying habits can create the change we need to save the planet. Her writing sparkles with insight, intelligence, and a deep commitment to enjoying and preserving the way clothes can make us feel better about ourselves and express our identity. But also an understanding of how the industry has to shift for that to go on being possible. An important voice." --Eleanor Mills, journalist and founder of Noon

"Tiffanie's writing is remarkable. She has an innate ability to tell a story in her writing that feels like a movie instead of a book." --Alexa Curtis, Be Fearless blog

"Tiffanie's writing on sustainability goes beyond the standard rhetoric, as she dives deeper into discussions to examine concrete and measurable ways in which companies--and consumers--can control and manage their environmental impact. With the perspective of a fashion lover, it is always inspiring to discover alternative ways to enjoy fashion without sacrificing environmental ethics." --Alison Hoetzel, Officina del Pioggio

Tiffanie's writing is approachable, inspiring, and informative. A must-read." --Diana Verde Nieto, founder, Positive Luxury
