In the 21st century, dressing oneself stopped being an innocent act. Every day we learn of harrowing news that tells us about a fashion industry that not only is the second most contaminating in the world but also carries with it the stigma of exploiting those who participate in its production. In this context what is the role of the consumers in its value chain? How can we stop being passive consumers and become responsible citizens? In this book some of those questions are answered through a dialog founded on sustainability and a comprehensive and complex reflection about fashion and consumption, both from the perspective of those who participate in its production chain as well as from the consumers, to those who confer upon them a protagonist role. At the same time it features and discusses a variety of local creative people and Latin Americans that are betting on the development of environmentally and economically sustainable scene; and that is not always on the public´s radar.
