Critics Review
“Consumed takes us through the hideously complex topic of fashion and sustainability, from its knotty colonial roots to what everyday people can do to uproot those systems, today.”–Yassmin Abdel-Magied
“A rallying cry for collective responsibility. A call-to-action to bring about systemic change to textile industries, which has reaped the benefits of unfair labor practices, consumer exploitation, and caused environmental harm for far too long.”–Christine Platt, The Afrominimalist
“SUCH integrity. Aja is no bullsh*t.”–Florence Given
