@tansyhoskins.org's investigation into textile waste – where our clothes end up; who profits from fashion – had her spending 16 months sorting through donations at a #London charity shop to explore the things dropped off! Sounds like an interesting book tansyhoskins.org/my-new-book-...

A lo largo del libro, @tansyhoskins.org recurre a Karl Marx para explicar cómo el capitalismo convierte la moda en mercancía, símbolo y deseo, pero también en instrumento de explotación. Así, la pregunta que atraviesa toda la obra es: ¿y si la moda pudiera existir sin capitalismo?
