Описание Worn. A People's History of Clothing

"Изношенный. Народная история одежды" - это тонко переплетенная история одежды и того, откуда она берется.
Лен, хлопок, шелк, синтетика, шерсть: рассказывая истории этих пяти тканей, Софи Танхаузер по-новому освещает мир, в котором мы живем, путешествуя из Китая в Камбрию, чтобы рассказать о ремесле, труде и промышленности, которые создают одежду, которую мы носим.
Книга на английском языке.
A finely spun history of clothes and where they come from
Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics, Wool: through the stories of these five fabrics, Sofi Thanhauser illuminates the world we inhabit in a startling new way, travelling from China to Cumbria to reveal the craft, labour and industry that create the clothes we wear.
From the women who transformed stalks of flax into linen to clothe their families in nineteenth century New England to those who earn their dowries in the cotton-spinning factories of South India today, this book traces the origins of garment-making through time and around the world. Exploring the social, economic and environmental impact of our most personal possessions, Worn looks beyond care labels to show how clothes reveal the truth about what we really care about.
