How about the people who made your T-shirt, or what happens to the clothes you grow out of when you're done wearing them? The fabrics clothes are made of, the way they are designed and sewn and shipped around the world, and the way we consume them and get rid of them--every step in this process has a big impact on our environment, on the people who work in clothing factories, and on our culture. This nonfiction book shows us how the clothes we wear--and throw away--every day are made, and what that means for our planet and for people around the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDana Thomas\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eFashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFashionopolis\u003c\/i\u003e Young Readers Edition, \u003ci\u003eGods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eDeluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster\u003c\/i\u003e, all published by Penguin Press.
