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
