A community set out to do something unprecedented – grow jeans from scratch. With hopes of helping regenerate harmful fashion systems, they begin planting flax and indigo, spinning yarn, and weaving cloth. When the dream of bringing them to market falters, the challenge of creating a prototype is taken on by Justine Alderney-Williams, transforming the experiment into a personal rite of passage. The project has been described as a tender, radical act of reconnection to land, lineage, lost skills, and the ‘more-than-human world’. Re-wilding the world, our wardrobes, and ourselves.
After the film, and an opportunity for some Afternoon Tea, there will be a Q & A session, including Justine. This is organised by the Northern and Central England Fibresheds.
There will also be an exhibition of thought-provoking clothing created by New Mills Fashion Activistas.
