We’re so excited to announce that our incredible Creative Director @amy_powney ’s TED Talk is out now! 🖤
Recorded at their Climate Summit in May, Amy focusses in on the rapid expansion of the fashion industry, our pursuit of cheap clothing – and calls for everyone to reconsider the value of the clothing they own and its connection to the Earth.
After 20 years working at Mother of Pearl, the last 10 at the helm, I’m stepping down as Mother of Pearl’s creative director to launch an exciting new contemporary womenswear brand: AKYN.
“AKYN will celebrate the inherent beauty and interconnectedness of the world we inhabit, bringing together aesthetic excellence and ethical responsibility in equal measure.”
Mother of Pearl has now closed, but if you’ve been following us on this account we’d love for you to stay, and if you’re new follow @akyn_world , as we embark on this new journey together. AKYN’s first collection will launch at AKYN.com in Spring 2025.
Thank you as ever for your support – together we are KYN folk 🤍
