Reviews:

‘Insightful, inspiring… a book I will be recommending to all students of fashion.’

Caryn Franklin, style guru, presenter, writer and campaigner

‘Every page turns the conventional view of the fashion landscape upside down, gives it a good shake and (charmingly) disposes the offending idea in the nearest trash can. Instead we are offered just about the most inspiring alternative models imaginable. And this is genuinely liberating.’

From the foreword by Lucy Siegle and Livia Firth

‘Showing fashion at its worst while providing upbeat solutions is a tough call but Safia Minney has achieved it with Naked Fashion.’

The Ecologist.

‘If sustainable goods are your thing, this is an enticing guide to the growing fair-trade fashion movement.‘

Christina Binkley, Wall St Journal.
