» Susie Orbach, author of 'Fat is a Feminist Issue'

'Interrogates today's fashion landscape with rigour - will make you view your wardrobe through a different lens'
» Lucy Siegle, author of 'Turning the Tide on Plastic'
«
'A masterclass in unpicking the threads of injustice, exploitation and oppression woven into our clothing. By joining the dots between fashion and capitalism, this is a route map to weave a different story for our clothing, our planet and its people'
» Asad Rehman, Executive Director of War on Want
«
'Thoroughly researched with a reach extending both globally and historically, the book is packed with interesting examples, and Hoskins' engaging style makes it eminently readable'
» 'LSE Review of Books'
«
'A staple of contemporary fashion literature'
» ‘Austrian Fashion Association’
«
'A classic read for all fashion students, and of course those interested in the politics of fashion. I will refer to my copy for a long time to come'
» Caryn Franklin MBE, fashion commentator and body image activist
«
'A book that hangs like a garment on a coat-hanger. A garment with many pockets. In the pockets numberless notes and remarks about clothes and history. Take it off the hanger and put it on. By which I mean - read it and walk through history'
» John Berger
«
'A controlled demolition, Hoskins uses facts to strip away the apparel trade's decorative exterior and then dynamites the foundations'
» 'Monthly Review'
«
'Once you see the fashion industry through Hoskins' anti-capitalist lens what lies behind cannot be unseen'
» 'Public Reading Rooms'
«
'A failure to imagine the end of capitalism goes hand-in-hand with a failure to imagine the end of fashion as a commodified sphere in which countless exploited workers labour so that the powerful can wear power-affirming garments. Hoskins' book does wonders to help its readers overcome both failures'
