Let Them Be Naked is an audacious exploration into the presence of toxic and often harmful chemicals in the fabrics and materials used in our everyday clothing. Since his mother’s death from breast cancer, designer and activist Jeff Garner has spearheaded a campaign to uncover the health implications of exposure to these chemicals and the urgent need for more ethical production of garments. His advocacy has created relationships with research organizations and innovators across the globe, all leading the conversation surrounding unregulated toxins in the fashion industry.
I’m in no way trying to advocate here that you should try clothes-free living, whether you call it naturism, nudism, nude recreation, social nudity, whatever. But let’s stop lying to ourselves that it’s wrong or indecent, when actually a healthier view of the body helps human development, particularly in puberty, and has real mental, physical and spiritual health benefits.
