Stella McCartney will use plastic recovered from the ocean to create a line of clothing which uses upcycled plastic taken from the ocean in her new fashion line in collaboration with Parley for the Oceans.
Long-term project entitled Ocean Legends is to help “protect” oceans from pollution, as the brand claims that by 2050, there will be more plastic in our waters than fish.
Stella – who is the daughter of Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney – announced the news on Thursday (08.06.17) in an Instagram video which showed the extent of the damage to the world’s oceans.
She captioned the video: “By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans by weight. We must protect our oceans.
“Today, on #WorldOceansDay, we have collaborated with Sea Shepherd to raise awareness around the biggest threats to our oceans today. In honour of Captain Paul Watson’s lifetime of work in conserving the oceans, our limited edition #FalabellaGO backpack is made from recycled marine plastic, with 100% of proceeds going to benefit Sea Shepherd and their ongoing efforts.
