Continuing his fight against plastic waste pollution that’s plaguing our oceans, Pharrell Williams has reunited with G-Star Raw, Parley for the Oceans and Bionic Yarn to deliver their third eco-friendly “Raw for the Oceans” collection.
Since from the launch of the collaboration, partner Parley has cleared 53 tonnes of plastic debris from the coastlines of Indonesia, China’s Hainan, and Australia, with the help of Bionic Yarn which is a New York start-up that transforms fibers from recycled bottles into textiles.
The Fall/Winter 2015 collection is comprised of pretty wearable items made from 2 million single use plastic containers recovered from ocean coastlines. The best part of this collection, however, is the Pharrell-designed Occotis HDD Bomber, which features a face mask that looks like something a scuba diver would wear. The lineup also includes a variety of unisex jeans and jackets along with graphic T-shirts. his season, jeans and jackets made from the world’s first denim from recycled ocean plastic are distressed and patched, and a special chalky white paint treatment given to the women’s Occo Skinny jeans and short.
