Our Woman Grows Jeans x Fibreshed Fundraiser Begins TONIGHT!

Posted on by Justine Aldersey-Williams

Watch Woman Grows Jeans Film TONIGHT or On-Demand for the Next Month

Today marks the start of a month-long Northern England Fibreshed fundraiser in collaboration with our founder Justine Aldersey-Williams at The Wild Dyery.

Woman Grows Jeans is the origin story of this Fibreshed, featuring our groundbreaking #HomegrownHomespun project with celebrity clothier, Patrick Grant of Community Clothing, and Superslow Way who run the British Textile Biennial, and documenting the making of the U.K.’s first historic pair of homegrown jeans.

It shows the many skills involved in transforming seeds into clothes, provokes important questions about fashion and regeneration, features the network of artisans who helped, and serves up the reality of challenging the status quo - with tears of despair and joy thrown in along the way!

WATCH ONLINE TONIGHT

OR

WATCH ON-DEMAND Anytime from tomorrow 12th June until 12th July
