Corner begins by examining the history of fashion, from the earliest days of human clothing to the present day. She shows how fashion has always been a way for people to express their individuality, their social status, and their cultural identity. She also explores the role of fashion in shaping our perceptions of beauty, gender, and sexuality.

In the second part of the book, Corner looks at the impact of fashion on our lives. She shows how the clothes we wear can affect our mood, our confidence, and our relationships with others. She also explores the role of fashion in the workplace, in politics, and in social movements.

In the final part of the book, Corner offers a vision for a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry. She argues that we need to move away from the fast fashion model that is currently dominating the industry and towards a more sustainable and equitable system. She also calls for greater diversity and inclusion in the fashion industry, so that everyone can see themselves reflected in the clothes they wear.

Why Fashion Matters is a timely and important book. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the power of clothing and its impact on our lives.
