GEOFF BOTTOMS relishes a profoundly human portrait of a family as it evolves across 55 years in Sheffield
Fashion Reimagined (12A)
Directed by Becky Hutner
“Fashion is one of the most destructive industries on our planet,” asserts British fashion designer Amy Powney whose journey to create a sustainable collection is captured in this eye-opening debut documentary by Becky Hutner.
The statistics are truly disturbing. Over 100 billion items of clothing are made a year and three out of five end up in landfill within one year of purchase. It is claimed that fashion is the fourth largest contributor to climate change in Europe and the third largest consumer of water.
Powney is an outsider, who lived off the grid in rural Lancashire as a child with her activist parents, and she is trying to make a difference in an industry which was startled by the success of her No Frills collection which turned Mother of Pearl into one of the first sustainable luxury brands.
