• Thu 16 Mar: 6pm start – in-person Q&A with Director Becky Hutner

Fashion Reimagined follows fashion designer Amy Powney of cult label Mother of Pearl, who embarks on a three-year journey to create a sustainable clothing collection from field to finished garment, and transform the way we engage with fashion.

Raised off-the-grid in rural England by activist parents, Amy has 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 and transform her entire business.

Fashion Reimagined explores Amy’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.

The director of Fashion Reimagined Becky Hutner will join us, in-person, for a Q&A after Thursday’s screening.

The Q&A will be hosted by Kalkidan Legesse, a social entrepreneur who works to deliver scaling businesses that are environmentally sound and socially inclusive. In a world facing failures of leaderships, systematic racism and climate crisis, Kalkidan is passionate about and advocate for intersectional environmentalism, anti-racism and effective social leadership. She is the founder of Sancho’s, an ethical brand and retailer based in Exeter and OWNI https://www.owni.app
