by John Russel Jones

As Earth Day gets closer, even iconic fashion brands like Dior are throwing their couture chapeaus into the sustainability ring. Today Dior unveiled a new beachwear capsule, designed by men’s artistic director Kim Jones in collaboration with Parley For The Oceans. The debut capsule introduces a selection of environmentally conscious pieces that embodies the house’s desire to move toward a more eco-innovative, sustainable future for fashion. Pieces include sweatshirts, shorts, swimwear, sunglasses, and, yes: swim fins. Parley is an environmental organization and collaborative network addressing major ocean threats with a strategy it calls Parley AIR: Avoid, Intercept, Redesign.
