Clare Press has a way with fashion, a way with words and a passion for finding the threads required to weave a new story for fashion and clothes into the future with her new book “Wear Next” - a fashion world that is kind, just, regenerative, innovative and inclusive - ditching the dark underbelly of exploitation and microplastic-filled materials currently at play in most stores around the world. We explore How buying less, upping quality and reusing clothes and fabrics in fashion can practically play out and not lead to job losses en masseWe explore what's changed - has fashion's sustainability got worse or better? How can we create a more ethical and sustainable fashion future?What is the role of technology in fashion’s future? The divide between celebrity ‘art’ fashion and everyday people’s choices Why did you write this new book, focused on solutions?The challenge of books and important work in a fast-info, head-linings-only worldI also read the first couple of pages of Clare’s book in the intro for you to get a taste of the book's journey and now want to start a new career in audiobook reading - it was so fun! I hope you enjoy it and remember - buy books. They matter - authors are awesome!
