Speedo have once again collaborated with ethical fashion brand From Somewhere to create an incredibly, visually striking ball gown out of the surplus of Speedo's Fast Skin Super Elite Swimsuit. Orsola de Castro, of From Somwhere said of the one-off upcycled "Unity" dress “I think our dress speaks about water, and water is life. It’s about the
environment, and preserving water which should be a priority for all
humankind.”
Sean Hastings, vice president of product and marketing at Speedo International said, “We’re delighted to again team up with
From Somewhere in the development of this latest truly unique piece of
‘upcycled’ fashion, which uses the different colours of our sponsored
international swim teams to reflect the vibrancy and excitement of
swimming.”
I think this dress is absolutely stunning and shows what you can create out of upcycling surplus fabrics.
