How do you make fashion sustainable? And sustainable fashionable? Model Charli Howard learns how high fashion is setting trends for the high street on sustainability.
Before lockdown, Charli popped round to the home of designer Amy Powney, whose sustainable style journey has taken her from living off-grid in a caravan in Lancashire, to the cutting room floor in London, to Creative Director of ethical womenswear brand, Mother of Pearl.
Amy explains why she swapped the high street for high fashion but has recently come full circle with a department store collaboration. Also, Charli learns just how far the average T-shirt has travelled.
