PREVIEW

The daughter of environmental activists raised on a remote eco-friendly homestead, Mother of Pearl designer Amy Powney always felt out of place in the fashion world. When she wins the coveted Vogue award for the Best Young Designer of the Year, which comes with a big cash prize, Amy decides to use the money to create a sustainable collection from field to finished garment and transform her entire business. Powney’s journey takes her from Uruguayan sheep pastures to an Austrian garment factory powered by steam, exposing the mind-boggling complexity and waste of the global supply chain. An eye-opening primer on how the clothes you buy today will shape the world of tomorrow, this film is a valuable resource not only for students of fashion, but to anyone who knows the power of small gestures to make a big impact.
