A Fashion Paradox

This book was an amazing read! It was the perfect balance of social and political issues without being preachy. If you are interested in fashion I think this book would be so interesting for you. If you identify as a modest dresser (whatever that may be to you) this book really opened up my eyes to the different issues and changes the fashion industry and its consumers have dealt with. My personal favourite chapters were the more political ones, coming from an academic political background I found it fascinating.

 I enjoyed the interviews with women from different backgrounds and faiths discussing what modesty means to them and the reassurance that modesty is personal. I felt like the author did a great job highlighting different actors in the industry (designers, influencers). It explores the controversies within the fashion world and highlights brands who are seeking to change some of the issues (sustainability, environmental, human rights). 

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in fashion and the role it plays in our lives and society.
