You probably know the statistics: global clothing production has roughly doubled in just 15 years, and every year an estimated 300,000 tonnes of used clothing ends up in UK landfill.

Fast fashion is the ultimate toxic relationship. It's bad news for the planet, our brains and our bank balances. We can't go on like this; our shopping habits need an overhaul.

Journalist Lauren Bravo loves clothes more than anything, but she's called time on her affair with fast fashion in search of a slower, saner way of dressing. In this book, she'll help you do the same.

How to Break Up with Fast Fashion will help you to change your mind-set, fall back in love with your wardrobe and embrace more sustainable ways of shopping - from the clothes swap to the charity shop. Full of refreshing honesty and realistic advice, Lauren will inspire you to repair, recycle and give your unloved items a new lease of life without sacrificing your style.

Because fashion belongs to everyone, but no outfit should cost us the earth.

An important topic, well researched and tackled with plenty of humour

I’ve always enjoyed Lauren Bravo’s writing in magazine features so I thought I’d give her book a go, even though I’m not much of a fashionista. I really enjoyed this book though. It was at times challenging to learn about some of the worst aspects of how the industry operates - and our role in that - but Bravo tackles the topic with both humility and plenty of good humour. I’d recommend this book to anyone who likes witty and insightful journalism and a fresh perspective and inspiration about our clothes buying habits.
