Let's keep in touch
Sign up for my free newsletter on worker’s rights, environmentalism, fashion consumption, my books & much more.
Hi, I’m Tansy Hoskins, an award-winning author and journalist who has been investigating the collision of fashion and capitalism since 2010.
Newsletter topics include:
- Worker’s rights & environmentalism
- Fashion consumption
- Globalisation
- Gendered, racialised, class-based exploitation
- My new book Charity Shop World which launches on the 3rd September 2026
In 2024 I launched the Patched problem page - your letters replied to with useful anti-capitalist advice. All this and more, and it's FREE! Sign up now:
What else you need to know about my newsletter:
- As well as original articles, you’ll get updates about my work – including the new book I’ve just finished writing, investigative training, campaigns, films and exhibitions.
- I use Ghost.org to run my newsletter and website because it is open source and non-profit.
- I do not use AI to write. Ever.
- I don't take money or freebies from brands, or do product placements. My journalism is independent.
- My aim is to keep in touch with people outside of X/Twitter and Meta/Facebook/IG. As the fashion industry becomes more authoritarian and the climate crisis intensifies, it's important we connect, talk and act on our own terms.
How I can help you with your investigations or getting started in fashion journalism:
- I teach Supply Chain Journalism and Information Security at the Centre for Investigative Journalism. To see my upcoming courses click here.
- You can check out a selection of my articles, reports and documentaries on my Fashion Journalism page.
- Helping to keep you informed and up-to-date while spreading the word about important issues is also the point of my newsletter so feel free to sign up!
In solidarity, Tansy.
