“Cline is the Michael Pollan of fashion…Hysterical levels of
sartorial consumption are terrible for the environment, for
workers, and even, ironically, for the way we look.”
—Michelle Goldberg, Newsweek/The Daily Beast“How did Americans end
up with closets crammed with flimsy, ridiculously cheap garments?
Elizabeth Cline travels the world to trace the rise of fast fashion
and its cost in human misery, environmental damage, and common
sense.”—Katha Pollitt, columnist for The Nation“Overdressed is
eye-opening and definitely turns retailing on its head. Cline’s
insightful book reveals the serious problems facing our industry
today. The tremendous values and advantages of domestic production
are often ignored in favor of a price point that makes clothing
disposable.” —Erica Wolf, executive director, Save the Garment
Center
