Overdressed explores the takeover of fast fashion, how it affects the environment, and how we can positively change our relationship with clothing.

Since 2000, the average price of clothing has dropped to unprecedented lows.

Cheap clothes are no longer seen as unfashionable. Instead, they have taken over the fashion industry.

The most common deciding factor for people buying clothes has shifted from quality to cheapness.

Fashion's industry-wide shift in consumer desire has created a massive surplus of cheaply made clothing. This is wreaking havoc on the environment.

Our cultural perspective on clothing needs to return to an emphasis on quality and longevity. This must happen for the sake of fashion workers and the planet.

Elizabeth L. Cline is a best-selling author and journalist. She has become an expert on consumer culture and sustainability within the fashion industry.

Cline argues that an unhealthy divide has been created in the fashion industry. This divide forces consumers to choose between outrageously overpriced, high-end clothing or unbelievably cheap, poor-quality clothing.

In her 2012 book Overdressed, Cline makes an evidence-based argument for the serious transformation of how we shop.
