Although I thought this would contain more information about mending, what this book did contain was so much more wide-ranging and probably more useful. It gives a really good analysis of the fashion industry and in depth information about individual fabrics and the often not-considered environmental impact of everything to do with fashion. This was the perfect read to kick off the new year with as it's so easy in January to be sucked in by consumerism and/or the desire to reinvent yourself, and now I've come away feeling inspired with so many ideas of how to use my existing wardrobe in interesting ways, what to consider if I ever want to expand my wardrobe, and ways in which I can inspire other people around to consider the same things.

Edit, 30/1/23: I have regularly thought about this book since finishing it and have found myself wanting to recommend it to anyone who will listen, so I'm bumping it up to a 5 star read!
