Fashion Reimagined, the brilliant eye opening documentary on the clothing industry is on at ActOne Cinema on Saturday 30 November. Screening is at 1 pm in Acton. After the screening will be inspiring upcycling workshops and a Christmas clothes swap.
Fashion reimagined focuses on fashion designer Amy Powney’s journey to create truly sustainable clothing. Raised off-the-grid in rural England by activist parents, Amy Powney has always felt uneasy about the devastating environmental impact of her industry. Amy wins the coveted Vogue award for the Best Young Designer of the Year, with a big cash prize. So Amy decides to use the money to create a sustainable collection. This collection will be sustainable from field to finished garment, and transform her entire business. Over the following three years, her own personal revolution becomes the precursor of a much bigger, societal change.
