Fixing Fashion argues that the true legacy of Rana Plaza is increased awareness of how cheap, disposable clothing has led to serious community, environmental, and labor rights abuses. Michael Lavergne explores: The birth of the global apparel trade, from colonialism and slavery to today's neoliberal trade agenda; How the infamous race to the bottom has led to some of the worst social and environmental excesses in the global apparel industry; The rise of a new breed of entrepreneurs and stakeholders driving change and transparency across international supply chains.
