“A must watch, not just for the fashion industry, but for everyone who wears clothes.” – Jess Cartner-Morley, Associate Editor (Fashion), The Guardian

“Amy Powney is one of the most clued up designers on the subject of sustainable fashion that has ever set foot in Vogue House. The creative director of Mother of Pearl has been on a mission to convert her brand into one that’s able to call itself ethical and sustainable – and, unlike the numerous labels who have recently jumped on the eco bandwagon, actually mean it” VOGUE

Fashion designer Amy Powney of cult label Mother of Pearl was raised off-the-grid in rural England by activist parents, Amy always felt uneasy about the devastating environmental impact of her industry. When she wins the coveted Vogue award for the Best Young Designer of the Year, Amy decides to use the prize money to create a sustainable collection from field to finished garment. Fashion Reimagined explores Powney’s journey from outsider in the fashion world to industry leader as she examines the complexities and waste of the global supply chain, whilst her own personal revolution becomes the precursor of a much bigger societal change. ​

Join Julia Roebuck (founder of Upcycle Fashion) after the film as she chats with Jay Rutovitz of Hebden Bridge Film Festival about finding solutions to fast fashion, sustainable textiles, how and why she creates new garments from unwanted textiles, and the joy of re-use.
