M A D I S O NDo you know what’s actually in your clothes? I used to think I knew what was in clothing…until I read this book and realized that caring about and discussing natural fibers is only scratching the surface! Under the surface of the fibers, embedded within the filaments and yarns are chemicals, colorants, finishes, and dyes that might just be the most toxic ☠️ part of fashion…and could also be the main culprit for so many health problems (autoimmune, digestive, respiratory, reproductive, etc.) that we are seeing on the rise today! The crazy thing is that when it comes to food and personal care products, we are given ingredient labels to tell us what is actually inside what we are putting on and in our body…but clothing doesn’t come with an “ingredients list”, and yet our clothes are more than just the sum of cotton, linen, polyester, etc. because aside from the fibers listed on clothing tags 🏷️, there’s a slew of unpronounceable finishes and dyes that we are never told about🤯 Now, all this is not to say ALL clothing is toxic, but if we care about knowing what’s in our food and personal care products, shouldn’t we also care about what’s in our clothes? After all, our skin is considered the largest organ of our body, so shouldn’t we know what’s touching our skin for 24 hours a day? These are the kinds of questions and challenges that @ecocultcom (the author) brings up in her book “TO DYE FOR: How Toxic Fashion Is Making Us Sick — And How We Can Fight Back” If you are lookin for an informative book to challenge your perceptions and thoughts about clothes, I couldn’t recommend this eye opening book enough 👏🏻 #fashionable #ethicalfashion #sustainablefashion #toxicfashion #bookrecommendations
