Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The book holds a wealth of information that's useful both environmentally and personally, and Eagan's plea for a "reboot" of how people shop and clothe themselves is a timely entreaty for change." --Publishers' Weekly The ultimate, all-in-one style guide with ethics built in that we've all been waiting for." --Sophia Bush "Rare is the book that speaks to your values while also providing a framework for realizing them in day to day actions. Wear No Evil does both in inspiring fashion. A must read for all who wear clothes." --Ben Goldhirsh, Co-Founder GOOD Magazine "The more we uncover what lies behind the fashion industry and the clothes we wear, the more we realize the power we have, as fashion lovers, to change it for good. Wear No Evil is a great guide on how to transform the fashion industry, one wardrobe at a time"." --Livia Firth, founder of Eco "I love this book! Finally an approachable, practical, DO-ABLE how-to on going green with your wardrobe without sacrificing an iota of style!" --Alysia Reiner, Actress (Orange is the New Black)
