Discussion & Reflection Questions
- The fashion industry has started talking more about making fashion sustainable, but in this book, Bédat notes that "there really is no such thing as 'sustainable fashion.'" What evidence does she offer for this statement? What are your thoughts on what this means for the future of the fashion industry?
- Since this book follows jeans throughout their lifecycle, readers see many points in the supply chain. Which part of this lifecycle surprised you the most? Why?
- Unraveled dives into the lives of garment workers, discussing the conditions that they face and also the concerns about replacement due to automation. What steps can companies take to improve these conditions? What steps can consumers take to support garment workers?
- How have you disposed of garments in the past? Did this book discuss that approach? What did you learn about the impacts of that approach to garment disposal?
- What questions would you have for Maxine Bédat? She will be visiting campus on October 8th to talk to our community, so start thinking about your questions now!
