Fashion magazine, i-D, introduced The Plastic Age, featuring Pharrell as the creative director. The trailer for the upcoming documentary concentrates on the resource of plastic waste, linking it to one inventive solution -- fashion.
Introducing Bionic Yarn -- an upcoming progressive textile that transforms plastic into wearable clothing fibers. Pharrell joins the plastic recycling movement and endorses Bionic Yarn as a solution to our ocean's immense plastic waste issue.
As i-D puts it, “an estimated 700 million tons of the stuff has ended up in the big blue, worked its way up the food chain and ultimately into the blood of human kind."
So if you don't feel affected by that shocking research, accept that plastic now lives inside our bodies. The issue undeniably has roots in our own lives: 288 millions tons of plastic are manufactured each year, with no proper disposal plan.
The full documentary follows Pharrell and G-Star Raw as an idea evolves into answers. The full film will be released April 15, through i-D publication where you will see G-Star's project "Raw for the Oceans" ignite change. The project itself concentrates on Bionic Yarn and its utilization as a global resource and solution. According to Complex, Burton and the NBA are on board to collaborate.
