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.

Burberry's ECONYL-Based ReBURBERRY Edit Collection + 'Positive Attributes' Labeling

The #REBURBERRY collection is now at market, modeled in new imagery by Tara Halliwell and Reece Nelson. 26 styles from the SS2020 collection are all made from the latest innovations in sustainable material science.

The ECONYL® fiber is the core of the #REBURBERRY collection. Additional outerwear pieces in the Edit are made using a new nylon that has been developed from renewable resources such as castor oil, and a polyester yarn made from recycled plastic bottles.

The introduction of the ‘ReBurberry Edit’ coincides with the global roll out of dedicated sustainability labelling across all key-product categories. The labels will, for the first time, “provide customers with an insight into the industry-leading environmental and social credentials of the Burberry programme,” according to the luxury brand’s press release. .

Vogue Paris called the initiative the “ethical collection of the moment.” You can view the ReBurberry Edit collection online.
