Finally! The sustainable fashion book you’ve been waiting for - focused on solutions. Clare Press’s new book, Wear Next, Fashioning the Future, presents a crystal ball look into tomorrow's wardrobe, with positive change in mind.
RISE & RESIST, HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Rise & Resist takes a wild trip through the new activism sweeping the world. The political march is back in a big way, as communities rally to build movements for environmental and social justice. But today's context calls for increasingly creative strategies to make our voices heard.
Crossing the globe, Clare Press meets passionate change-makers who believe in the power of the positive. From eco warriors and zero wasters to knitting nannas, introvert craftivists to intersectional feminists, they're all up for a revolution of sorts. Are you? Join Press as she tracks the formation of a new counterculture, united by purpose: to rethink how we live today to build a more sustainable tomorrow.
Featuring interviews with inspiring change-makers including: model activist Cameron Russell, 350.org’s May Boeve, Fashion Revolution founders Orsola de Castro and Carry Somers, craftivists Betsy Greer and Sarah Corbett, Pussyhat Project founders Jayna ZWeiman and Krista Suh

WARDROBE CRISIS, HOW WE WENT FROM SUNDAY BEST TO FAST FASHION
Wardrobe Crisis was named one of the BEST BOOKS OF 2016 by the Sydney Morning Herald.
Clare launched the US edition in New York in February 2018 at the Tishman Environment and Design Center, as part of The New School’s week of Disrupting Climate Injustice.
"Press's prose is light, upbeat and often funny. Her ideal readers – hopefully the caring consumers of the future, who won't buy a frock without ticks by a trusted auditor checking every step along its supply chain that it did not exploit, pollute, endanger or kill on its way from seed to rack – will warmly relate. Her research is deep and densely detailed ('academic rigour' sprang to mind), but spiked with hundreds of wonderfully off-piste anecdotes, harvested from the annals of fashion and cleverly curated for curiosity and glamour value. A perfect balance of engaging (but true) fluff and formidable fact." - The Age
"A WONDERFULLY ENGAGING READ … FRANKLY, IT’S A BOOK ALL FASHION LOVERS SHOULD ADD TO THEIR BEDSIDE READING LIST." - The Australian
“AN EYE-OPENING LOOK AT THE STATE OF THE INDUSTRY…STUDY UP.” - Fashion Journal
