Woman Grows Jeans

About this title

When an ambitious experiment between a textile activist and a celebrity clothier meets inevitable challenges, one woman is propelled into an initiation that makes British fashion history. With a community of volunteers, they envisioned homegrown jeans sold through a social enterprise, but their work exposed uncomfortable truths about the systems controlling industry. Despite its sophistication, the U.K. can no longer produce clothing without importing materials or causing harm.
