“The collection is mixing style and functionality, which makes it very desirable for the consumers,” Jones said in a statement shared exclusively with WWD.Dior’s beachwear collaboration with Parley for the Oceans started in 2022, in the wake of a joint research project in 2019 that resulted in new yarns and fabrics made with upcycled marine plastic debris and fishing gear recovered from coastlines and islands around the world.
“Together with Dior, now in our third year of collaboration, we have mastered the challenge of reworking hard-to-recycle plastics into elevated textiles,” said Cyrill Gutsch, chief executive officer and founder of Parley for the Oceans. “Fashion has the power to turn everything upside down. And that is exactly what we are continuing to do with Dior — connecting what we know to innovate and change our current culture.
