Candice Swanepoel's Tropic of C Sp 2021 Sustainable Eco Sets Swimwear Now in Econyl®

Beach photos have never looked so inviting in COVID-world. Candice Swanepoel takes us on a getaway to Exuma, The Bahamas for her new Tropic of C [IG] collection. Photographer Eduardo Bravin [IG] captures the sensual goddess in strappy, barely-there bikinis in shades of sea glass green, pacifico blue, and papaya. It’s the “swim collection for those who live by the beach and for the beach,” says Tropic of C

Candice is promoting Eco Sets made in econyl® or regen®, regenerated fabrics made from post-consumer plastic and waste. Econyl® is the new sustainable fabric developed with luxury brands Burberry and Prada working with Aquafil, an Italian company with more than half a century of expertise in creating synthetic fibers. Prada announced in 2019 that by 2021 the brand’s iconic nylon bags would convert to Econyl®.

Tropic of C also calls out that all prints are digitally printed, a more eco-conscious process that substantially reduces water, waste and electricity usage.

Photograher Fee-Gloria Groenemeyer (IG) captures models Feli Rasztar, Neslihan Degerli and Qaher Harhash wearing new items from Prada’s Re-Nylon Collection. Neslihan Degerli styles the city slickers trio for TITLE Magazine’s ‘Title x Prada // Re-Nylon Indoor Camping’.

See the entire Prada Re-Nylon Campaign at Prada.com. In 1984 Prada’s nylon backpack became a global status symbol among modern fashionistas. In 2019, Prada introduced Prada ‘Re-Nylon’, a bag collection made of regenerated fabric consisting of recycled and purified ocean plastic, fishing nets, landfills and textile-fiber waste.

Pre-pandemic, Prada’s current goal was to convert all its virgin nylon products to regenerated nylon by the end of 2021.
