The tone is interesting; not boring at all. The author does seem to focus more on the French than English fashions. Im not sure if its because thats where most of the fashions talked about originated or perhaps its just her area of expertise.Either way; its an in-depth; and often scary; look at the world of fashion; past and present. Sadly it seems that most toxic fashion today is mostly harmful to workers in countries whose laws dont protect their employees.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Scary and SadBy rebecca estepIt is a well written book with good points to it. It was like a car wreak; you dont want to look but you cant look away. What is sad is that danger to textile manufacturers is still a major problem in the development. The author also points out the need for change and some things we can do to bring it about. All in all; a sobering read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Well done and eye opening. Sheds light on choice ...By jim BurrillWell done and eye opening.
