I loved this book. Each essay inside has a great perspective on what fashion of the future could be. It's a great read and very informative if you're in the business and it's a must read for everyone who's not in the business! Some of the damage we have done to our planet in the name of fashion is astounding.

The FutureFashion White Paper offers an insightful overview on where fashion stands on sustainability. A seemingly contradiction. The Perfect t-shirt story puts all questions - and the lack of answer at this moment - nicely together.

This book is great especially for Europeans like me, to get to know what's going on with sustainable fashion in the US.Many different points of view make it more alive and useful than than just a normal book.
Highly recommendable.
