Cheap fashion has fundamentally changed the way most Americans dress. Stores ranging from discounters like Target to fast fashion chains like H&M now offer the newest trends at unprecedentedly low prices. Retailers are producing clothes at enormous volumes in order to drive prices down and profits up, and they've turned clothing into a disposable good.

The narrator sounds like Siri
This book is really great information that truly changed how I dress! It’s very informative and I highly recommend it. The narrator however is barely listenable. My husband heard me listening to it one day and said “it’s sounds like a robot that someone programmed to try to be human”. If I were the author I would pay to have this re-recorded and I’ve made an audio book before and know what a big job that is. It’s seriously so distracting to the great content.
