Fashion Reimagined + Q&A – presented by Greener Henley & Picturehouse Green Screen
As part of Great Big Green Week, join us at the Henley Regal Picturehouse for our Green Screen collaboration: Fashion Reimagined on Thursday 15 June at 7:00 pm, followed by a live Q&A session. This informative documentary follows a luxury brand’s painstaking effort to produce clothes that do no harm.
Fashion Reimagined tells the story of 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 her entire business. 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.
Exploring Amy’s journey from fashion world outsider, to industry leader, the film examines the complexities and waste of the global supply chain, whilst Amy’s own personal revolution becomes the precursor of a much bigger societal change.

This event promises to be an inspiring screening and conversation on the approaches we can take to adopt ‘slow fashion’, thereby reducing consumption and production, lowering our impact on our planet. Come join the discussion!
Picturehouse Green Screen is an environmental documentary screened in conjunction with a community group, followed by a panel discussion made up of local experts and then (where possible) an invitation to continue the conversation in the cinema’s bar or cafe to connect and share ideas. Free tea or coffee for those bringing their own keep cups.
