Emma Hakansson is the founding director of Collective Fashion Justice (CFJ), a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the creation of a total ethics fashion system which puts people, our fellow animals and the planet before profit. Working to educate and engage citizens consumers, while consulting with the fashion industry and pushing for legislative change, CFJ recognises the interconnectedness of both our problems and solutions in fashion. Before founding the organisation, Emma worked as a model, where her love for fashion became compromised by her growing understanding of its injustices.

Emma lectures internationally on total ethics fashion, while CFJ has worked alongside Fashion Revolution, the Center for Biological Diversity, Fashion Act Now, Good On You, and many other leading organisations.

Zusammenfassung

Total Ethics Fashion: People, our fellow animals and the planet before profit is a deep dive into supply chain issues associated with fashion around the globe.

'Sustainable' and 'ethical' fashion have a problem: they've become marketing buzzwords rather than meaningful commitments for a better fashion industry. In the midst of a global environmental crisis interwoven with serious ethical conundrums, it's time for fashion to look more holistically at both its problems and its solutions.

Exploring how the fashion industry is set up today, Collective Fashion Justice's founding director Emma Hakansson offers a path forward. Looking back at what we've lost from fashion – as the industry's race to the bottom consumes the creativity and culture of clothing – and forward to the future of it, this book is all at once hard hitting, contemplative and hopeful. A manifesto for a total ethics fashion system, this book is for those who work in fashion, who love fashion, who love the planet, or who simply get dressed each day.
