The fashion industry has an enormous toll on the planet in terms of the resources it uses and its impact on the climate, contributing an estimated 10% of global emissions. Fashion Reimagined chronicles the attempt by designer Amy Powney of the cult fashion label Mother of Pearl to make her ranges completely sustainable, a task that was far more difficult than she initially imagined. The film follows her as she goes about the formidable task of redesigning her business and sourcing traceable materials that don’t contribute to the destruction of the planet or exploit people or animals. As a result, Powney’s collections are now completely sustainable and her work has had a major impact on the industry. But, as the film stresses, there is still a lot of work to be done. Fashion Reimagined is essential viewing for anyone who wears clothes.
