Eco-chic: The Fashion Paradox

The first and still the best book on eco fashion, not clothing, not apparel, not mixed in with interior design, but eco fashion. THE must have book on the topic and the standard all others are judged by.

As a graduate student I am using this book as a foundation for my research on sustainable fashion. It is an excellent resource that covers a range of topics related to the fashion life cycle and the fashion industry as a whole. This book is packed with information but easy to read. I am also using Sustainable Fashion: Why Now? by Janet Hethorn and Connie Ulasewicz along with this book. Sustainable Fashion: Why Now?: A Conversation Exploring Issues, Practices, and Possibilities

This book is a great introduction to the industry at large and all the channels and players involved. It gives well researched descriptions of strategies and initiatives taken on by various designers and entrepreneurs. It also has great resource listing at the back that will lead you to more current information. It's a must for fashion designers and industry professionals. I'm using it as a starting block for my thesis on sustainable fashioning.

Excellently presented book that covers all aspects of sustainable and ethical fashion. Does not baulk at some of the complexities of the subject. Well researched.

Excellent book -Sandy Black is an authority on all aspects of fashion and the industry. I first read it when it came out in 2008 ( this is a 2nd edition of a very successful book)- it was one of the first books to be published on the subject of sustainable fashion. It is both informative and easy to read and a great resource for fashion students. Comes highly recommended
