Following the exhibition at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, the book “Fast Fashion” casts a critical glimpse behind the scenes of glamorous fashion. It is bounded by the magic triangle of consumerism, economic interests and ecological issues, and throws light on these themes from the following aspects: fashion & victims; poverty & affluence; global & local effects; wages & profits; garments & chemicals; clothes & the ecological rucksack; new fibre technologies.

What influence does the consumer have? Fashion is a social regulative of a very special kind and is regarded as the pacemaker of social change. Like the exhibition, the book encourages to think actively about the topic of fashion and its social, economic and environmental impacts.
