Worn: A People's History of Clothing
By Sofi Thanhauser
A New Yorker Best Book of the Year - this is not only a stunning coffee table book, but also a story of the clothes we wear and where they come from, illuminating our world in unexpected ways. Author Sofi Thanhauser does a wonderful job of showing us how micro-communities, textile companies, and clothing makers in every corner of the world are rediscovering ancestral and ethical methods for making what we wear.
