At fashion week, the Oscar-nominated artist debuted RAW for the Oceans, his latest eco-conscious fashion project in collaboration with G-Star Raw. Raw for the Oceans is an endeavor that retrieves littered plastic from the ocean, and turns it into "bionic yarn," which will be used as thread to make the denim for the line's jeans. Williams will serve as a co-designer of the new eco-friendly denim line. "Working with G-Star was an obvious choice, because they have a legacy of pushing the boundaries of fashion and denim forward," Pharrell said at the press conference. "Bionic Yarn is a company built around performance, and denim is the perfect category to show the world what Bionic Yarn can do. Everyone has jeans in their closet." Siva Kaneswaran from The Wanted who also hit up the event said: "What a great cause." "This is an amazing and creative way to save our oceans." Keep an eye out for the RAW for the Oceans collection in stores.
