Parley for the Oceans and Dior Launch New Beachwear Collection
Mickey Phoon — March 23, 2023
Non-profit environmental organization Parley for the Oceans and luxury fashion brand Dior teamed up for a second collaborative, sustainable beachwear collection. Dior Men’s artistic director Kim Jones spoke about the brand's second time collaborating with Parley for the Oceans: "I’m very proud of this second collaboration with Parley for the Oceans. We succeeded in doing a 96 percent eco-responsible collection which is amazing."
Similar to the first collaboration, the materials of this beachwear collection are made of sustainable and recycled materials from the ocean. About 59 percent of items in the collection contain ocean plastics, and 37 percent utilize organic GOTS textiles. This second collaborative beachwear collection consists of weatherproof shell jackets, knitted vests, seersucker basics, footwear, and carrying options. There are also special items in the collection, including an additional collaboration with surfwear company Vissla on wetsuits made from recycled jerseys and with Notox for surfboards. The beachwear collection will be available in May.
