The film follows fashion designer Amy Powney of cult label Mother of Pearl, a rising star in the London fashion scene. 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, 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. Over the following three years, her own personal revolution becomes the precursor of a much bigger, societal change.

"A must watch, not just for the fashion industry, but for everyone who wears clothes." - Jess Cartner-Morley, Associate Editor (Fashion), The Guardian

"Amy Powney is one of the most clued up designers on the subject of sustainable fashion that has ever set foot in Vogue House. The creative director of Mother of Pearl has been on a mission to convert her brand into one that's able to call itself ethical and sustainable - and, unlike the numerous labels who have recently jumped on the eco bandwagon, actually mean it" - VOGUE
