Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand just from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles.
This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion and also his medicine. It’s how he survives the death of his wife and finds a beautiful way to honour her.
A modern-day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft.

The Pembina Fibreshed is located on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene Peoples and the homeland of the Metis Nation, including lands and peoples in relationship under Treaties 1, 2, 3 and 5. We respect and honour those who lived in harmony with this land, the waterways, plants and animals for thousands of years, and now share it with people from all over the world. May our work here carry on in that spirit of respect and reciprocity, with gratitude to all our relations.
