1017 ALYX 9SM recently unveiled a new collection for the Fall/Winter 2018 season from an angle that is environmentally friendly. The latest sustainable capsule is comprised of minimalist pieces like tees, sweaters, and long sleeve shirts. All of the items are finished in graphic prints and are constructed from upcycled yarn materials. For every tee made in the capsule, approximately a thousand gallons of water is saved -- this means that the entire collection is saving a million gallons of water in its process.
The capsule boasts a monochromatic color scheme with only hues of black, white, and gray -- it is adorned with some photography visuals by Matthew Williams at its front, and spaced text at the back of the pieces. Online retail label Sardin initiates conversation on how customers can ethically purchase products, with a pre-order only process of both sale and production to reduce waste, creating based on demand. The new 1017 ALYX 9SM collection is exclusively available at Sardin.
