For the first time, the artistic director of Dior Homme Kim Jones, and the environmental organization Parley For The Oceans are teaming up around a capsule collection made of plastic from marine pollution.

While the sunny days are finally making their return, the fashion houses are unveiling one by one their&nbsp;beachwear&nbsp;capsules dedicated to an assumed summer fashion.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/tags/dior">Dior</a>&nbsp;for its <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/categories/man">Men&#39;s</a> collection, did the double duty.&nbsp;To design this collection event, the house on <a href="https://www.lofficiel.at/en/fashion/dior-opens-its-doors-at-30-avenue-montaigne-in-paris">Avenue Montaigne</a> joined forces with the&nbsp;Parley For The Oceans&nbsp;association, which produces a unique material created with recycled marine plastic waste.

Initiated in 2019, joint research between the two partners, driven by a desire for eco-innovation, has given life to new yarns and fabrics, designed in&nbsp;Parley Ocean Plastic&reg;&nbsp;- created with recycled marine plastic waste collected on coastlines and islands around the world (including the&nbsp;Maldives, Dominican Republic and Sri Lanka), then transformed into high-performance materials by&nbsp;Parley&nbsp;and its international network.

These fibers were then reworked in the heart of the&nbsp;Dior&nbsp;workshops;&nbsp;a challenge for the craftsmen who, from this revisited and recycled polyester &ndash; an alternative to virgin polyester &ndash; have produced highly qualitative fabrics, like a jacquard, a mesh knit or even a technical canvas.

Completely eco-designed, the collection gives pride of place to exceptional know-how highlighting the heritage of the house, flirting with a&nbsp;green&nbsp;approach, the starting point of this signature capsule.&nbsp;Sun-drenched creations, including Dior, branded flippers, a mask, and a snorkel for an ultra-couture snorkeling session, hoodies, t-shirts, and other Bermuda shorts to enjoy&nbsp;the sun&#39;s rays.
