长难句疑问

Overdressed is the fashion world’s answer to consumer-activist bestsellers like Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. 

此句话如何理解翻译?

以下是上下文:

第二段

This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or at odds with the feverish world described in Overdressed, Eliazabeth Cline’s three-year indictment of “fast fashion”.

 

In the last decade or so ,advances in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara ,H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and anticipate demand more precisely.

 

Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted inventory, more frequent release, and more profit.

 

These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable-meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that –and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks.

 

△By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking an industry (long accustomed to a seasonal pace).

 

第四段

The victims of this revolution , of course ,are not limited to designers.

 

For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-pius stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.

 

Overdressed is the fashion world’s answer to consumer-activist bestsellers like Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. 

 

“Mass-produced clothing ,like fast food, fills a hunger and need, yet is non-durable and wasteful,” Cline argues.

 

Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year – about 64 items per person – and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste.

 

第五段

Towards the end of Overdressed, Cline introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beaumont, who since 2008 has made all of her own clothes – and beautifully.

 

But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example can’t be knocked off.

overdressed本是形容词,意为穿得过于前卫、过于正式、穿得太多。从Towards the end of Overdressed,这里大写的Overdressed表面这是一篇文章的标题。
