Official synopsis Publisher
Did you know the fashion industry is the world’s second most polluting industry just behind the oil and gas sector?
Most consumers go into a store and pick up a new pair of jeans; not thinking of the huge impact that goes into its production. The fabric, the dye, the people behind it; are all factors contributing to the current state of the fashion industry. Average consumers don’t realize their full impact on the planet because of one simple purchase. In The Vintage Mindset, Jillian McCarthy takes you on a journey through thrift stores and the history behind the pieces you might find there, as well as the new mindset we all need for a more sustainable future and a healthier planet.
