OverviewCan we find more-meaningful ways to be with fashion than a continual cycle of purchasing a very limited sense of freedom?... Can we transform habits of self-indulgence into insight? We hunger for connection, being seen, and feeling popular, and with cheap and accessible clothes around the corner or a click away, we buy and discard clothes like never before. Fashion ""hacktivist"" von Busch and Buddhist teacher Josh Korda show how a Buddhist perspective on fashion can help us engage with clothes in wiser ways. Includes ""action exercises"" to help put ideas into practice in your life and closet. Here's a quirky, irreverent way to consider what's a more sustainable way to be with - and still enjoy - fashion.
