'This riveting behind-the-scenes story of the clothes on our backs is a must-read for clotheshorses everywhere' Harper's Bazaar 'Extraordinary . . . fascinating . . . a wonderful way into history, quite often through the voices of people who don't have a say in history' Cerys Matthews Linen, Cotton, Silk, Synthetics, Wool: through the stories of these five fabrics, Sofi Thanhauser illuminates the world we inhabit in a startling new way, travelling from China to Cumbria to reveal the craft, labour and industry that create the clothes we wear. From the women who transformed stalks of flax into linen to clothe their families in nineteenth century New England to those who earn their dowries in the cotton-spinning factories of South India today, this book traces the origins of garment-making through time and around the world. Exploring the social, economic and environmental impact of our most personal possessions, Worn looks beyond care labels to show how clothes reveal the truth about what we really care about. 'A must-read . . . combines remarkable research with heartfelt care' Clare Hunter

服裝改變我們對世界的看法，也改變世界看待我們的方式。∼吳爾芙 《紐約客》雜誌年度最佳書籍 《魅力》雜誌 二○二二年第一季年度好書 《哈潑時尚》雜誌 二○二二最佳年度新書 本書不僅是一部人類服裝的社會史、深刻動人的報導文學， 更將澈底改變你對衣服的看法！ 譚豪瑟以非凡的學術造詣及簡潔精煉的筆調，將服裝的歷史串連起來，讓讀者瞭解人類服裝的故事就是一部死亡、疾病、剝削及破壞土地的歷史……（以及）我們如何選擇所要譴責的危害。 在這部視野寬廣的社會史中，譚豪瑟以精彩的筆觸講述五種紡織原料——亞麻、棉花、絲綢、合成纖維和羊毛——的故事，闡述人類服裝的發展及起源，以意想不到的方式，啟發了我們對世界的認知。本書不僅揭開時尚產業的黑幕，更加入氣候議題、深入探討近代歷史，並帶領讀者快速認識紡織業的勞權課題，集所有熱門議題於一身。她帶領讀者穿古跨今，從法王路易十四的華麗宮廷一路來到當代中國強佔下的新疆勞改營。我們看到古代織品曾以地衣、貝殼、樹皮、番紅花和甲蟲作為染料，展現出獨樹一格的地區編織及針織特色；以及現代西方成衣業如何在快時尚品牌的推波助瀾下，將我們的衣著重新打造成千篇一律、穿過即丟的單調制服。 譚豪瑟清楚點出服裝業如何淪為全球最嚴重的汙染源頭，以及長期藉由低薪剝削勞工來從事生產的業界黑幕；但她也讓我們看見當前世界各地，開始有些微型社群、紡織公司及服裝業者選擇回歸傳統，以古老且人性化的方式來製造衣物。 ★各界讚語 作者耗費數年進行田調，走遍世界各地深入探訪，帶來許多精彩的故事。本書揭示了一個事實：我們身上所穿的衣服不僅僅是標籤上所標注的產地或工廠生產的成品，更是深入根植於歷史的產物。∼《紐約客》（New Yorker）雜誌年度最佳書籍
