KANGHYUK Crafts Sustainable Skiwear Using Leftover Airbags
info@hypebae.com (HYPEBAE) Mon, 17 May 2021 HYPEBAEIndustrial conglomerate Hyosung has joined forces with KANGHYUK to recycle its leftover airbags. Using the waste materials, the rising Korean label has crafted a collection of sustainable skiwear.
Provided exclusively to KANGHYUK, the repurposed fabric – enough to make around 700 jackets – comes from airbags that couldn't be sold due to sizing issues. Designed for all genders, the collection boasts a minimal white shade overall. Standouts include a bulky parka highlighted with barcode details, as well as ski pants contrasted with blue top-stitches. In womenswear, the tech-focused range additionally features outerwear pieces with waistband detailing for a defined silhouette. The designs are rounded out with Hyosung's logo stamped onto the front.
See the full lineup above. The Hyosung x KANGHYUK skiwear collection will be available for pre-order from May 17 to 31, with shipping starting on October 27. Head to the fashion label's website for more information.
