To Dye For: How Toxic Fashion Is Making Us Sick--And How We Can Fight Back

To Dye For: The Hidden Dangers in Your Wardrobe

Discover the shocking truths behind the clothes you wear every day in To Dye For, an eye-opening exposé by award-winning journalist Alden Wicker. In this must-read book, Wicker reveals the untold story of the toxic chemicals lurking in your wardrobe, many of which are largely unregulated and potentially harmful to your health. From synthetic dyes made from fossil fuels to dangerous additives in clothing, To Dye For uncovers how these substances are silently contributing to rising health issues like autoimmune diseases, infertility, asthma, and eczema.

As we become more aware of the ethical concerns surrounding fast fashion—like labor exploitation and environmental destruction—Wicker takes us a step further, diving deep into how the clothing industry has long concealed the dangers within the fabrics we wear. With little to no regulation in the fashion industry, many of us unknowingly expose ourselves to these risks every day, from uniforms to everyday apparel, even face masks.

To Dye For breaks down how the fashion industry has kept these harmful secrets for over 150 years and outlines what we can do to protect our health and make informed, eco-conscious choices. With practical advice on how to navigate the complex world of fashion, this book is a wake-up call for anyone looking to build a safe, sustainable, and healthy wardrobe.
