"The World Is On Fire But We're Still Buying Shoes" by Alec Leach is a compelling critique of modern fashion consumerism and its environmental repercussions. Leach, a former fashion editor at Highsnobiety, delves into the paradox of our continued shopping habits despite awareness of fashion's detrimental impact on the planet.

In this 144-page pocket-sized paperback, Leach combines personal anecdotes, industry insights, and philosophical reflections to explore the psychological and cultural factors driving overconsumption. He examines topics like sneaker hype, greenwashing, and the emotional allure of shopping, urging readers to adopt a more intentional and mindful approach to fashion. The book features infographics, diagrams, and pull quotes, making complex ideas accessible and engaging.

Leach's manifesto doesn't prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution but encourages readers to redefine their relationship with fashion, emphasizing personal style and conscious consumption over trend-driven purchases. It's a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of fashion, sustainability, and consumer behavior.
