In her groundbreaking book, Unraveled, Elizabeth Cline takes us on a journey into the hidden world of clothing. She reveals the true cost of our clothing, both to the environment and to the people who make it. Through interviews with industry insiders, historical research, and personal anecdotes, Cline uncovers the complex and often disturbing story behind the clothes we wear.

Cline begins by tracing the history of the garment industry, from its humble beginnings in the home to its present-day globalized state. She shows how the rise of fast fashion has led to a race to the bottom, with devastating consequences for workers and the environment. Cline also explores the environmental impact of clothing production, from the toxic chemicals used in dyeing and finishing to the vast amounts of water and energy required to produce a single garment.

But Unraveled is not just a story of doom and gloom. Cline also offers solutions to the problems she exposes. She calls for a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry, one that values both people and the planet. She urges consumers to buy less, buy better, and support brands that are committed to social and environmental responsibility.

Unraveled is a must-read for anyone who cares about fashion, sustainability, and social justice. It is a powerful and eye-opening book that will change the way you think about the clothes you wear.
