Kvinnor möts dagligen av reklambudskap fyllda med ord som conscious, sustainable, care och female empowerment. Modeföretagen vill på detta vis få konsumenterna att känna sig som världsförbättrare genom att handla mer kläder. Marknadsföringsknepet används dock oftast på kvinnor. Det framkommer i en ny avhandling om modebranschens användning av ideologisk marknadsföring. Modebranschens användning av
