Sinking these symbols of obscene greed and reclaiming their home as a billionaire-free zone. We want this in fashion: Redistribute wealth and power into the hands of the millions of people who make our clothes.

👗The top 10 fast fashion brands raked in $13.9 billion in profit in 2024 - while paying the workers who make their clothes poverty wages.

We're at London Fashion Week today to say: tax extreme wealth. Pay living wages now.

Galardonada periodista inglesa, @tansyhoskins.org es licenciada en Relaciones Internacionales por la London School of Economics y máster en Periodismo Audiovisual por la U. de Cardiff.
Es documentalista de actualidad en ITV y miembro del Sindicato Nacional de Periodistas de UK.

A lo largo del libro, @tansyhoskins.org recurre a Karl Marx para explicar cómo el capitalismo convierte la moda en mercancía, símbolo y deseo, pero también en instrumento de explotación. Así, la pregunta que atraviesa toda la obra es: ¿y si la moda pudiera existir sin capitalismo?

Desde las alfombras rojas de la Gala del Met hasta la moda rápida online, la ropa cuenta una historia de desigualdad, racismo y crisis climática. En este libro, @tansyhoskins.org deshace con rigor e intención los hilos de la industria capitalista para revelar la verdad sobre nuestra ropa.

👕 NOVEDAD 👕

Explotación laboral, racismo, devastación ambiental, control de los cuerpos, monopolios mediáticos y desigualdad económica.

La moda es política, y este un análisis crítico del sistema que sostiene la moda global.

«La moda es una forma de producción social [...].
El objetivo de este libro es descoser y desmitificar la industria de la moda y su ideología, no alimentar su mística cuidadosamente cultivada [...].
La moda es un concepto puramente europeo indistinguible del capitalismo».

Sink The Yachts, Raise The Wages! Orca whales are coming for the superyachts... Plus Sri Lanka, Palestine, boycotts and more

Via @tansyhoskins.org :"In May NEXT announced record level profits at its AGM. A few days later, NEXT shut down a factory that it owns in Sri Lanka citing ‘high costs’ – plot twist, the factory was unionised. 1,416 workers were fired by WhatsApp message. No notice." tansyhoskins.org/summer-of-20...

Thank you!

Listening to the "anticapitalist book of fashion" by @tansyhoskins.org and wondering why I missed it for so long 😭 I'm at chapter 1 and I've already swore on the grave of my beloved cat that I will only buy small brands clothes and shoes from now on, or not buying nothing at all 🫡

The military junta should allow immediate access to humanitarian aid for survivors and lift restrictions that impede emergency response.

“In Billionaires and Guillotines, players take on the role of 2-5 rival plutocrats vying to grab the wealth of the world before their actions trigger a revolution where they all lose… a lot more than their assets.”

Looking forward to backing this new #boardgame from Pluto Press!

“A device to view the interdependency between fashion and nature, whereby nature is seen as the starting point and not just a resource for fashion to exploit…short vignettes and full of hopeful predictions”

Not yet read Fletcher’s Almanac, but Fashion Roundtable’s write up is interesting.
