Worn, By Sofi Thanhauser. In the history of clothing and fashion there are five dominate types of fabric - Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics and wool. Thanhauser takes us through the history of each and the stories of where they come from and how they have shaped our world. From how the clothing industry has polluted our planet, created harsh working conditions, to where we are today with more small textile companies that are working towards going back to traditional and ethical methods for making what we wear. A fascinating read with loads of information.
