Take a look at your favorite pair of jeans. Maybe you bought them on Amazon or the Gap, but do you know where they really came from, how many thousands of miles they crossed, or the number of hands who picked, spun, wove, dyed, packaged, shipped, and sold them to get to you? The fashion industry operates with radical opacity, and it's only getting worse to disguise countless environmental and labor abuses. In Unraveled, entrepreneur, researcher, and advocate Maxine Bedat follows the life of an American icon—a pair of jeans—to reveal what really happens to give us our clothes. A sprawling, deeply researched, and provocative tour-de-force, Unraveled is not just the story of a pair of pants, but also the story of our global economy and our role in it. Told with piercing insight and unprecedented reporting, Unraveled challenges us to reclaim our central role as citizens to refashion society.
