Rap Artist Pharrell To Design Eco friendly Jackets

Posted: 29 Jun 2010 10:24 AM PDT

Innovative new eco friendly fashion line coming out from hip hop and rap artist Pharrell.

The artist is teaming up with Italian house Moncler to create jackets (and other activewear) from recycled PET bottles. The line will be called Pharrell Moncler and include such items as winter jackets that mimic the look of bullet proof vests. Why bullet proof vests? It’s the new hip urban look for Fall.

The Grammy Award winner owns Bionic Yarn, a New York-based textile company that makes fabric from recycled plastic bottles. For Fall/Winter 2010, Pharrell has teamed up with Franco-Italian activewear label Moncler to launch a special-edition collection of men's jackets made entirely from Bionic Yarn fabric.

Nintendo has now adopted a green transition of sorts by packaging their Wii games using eco-friendly casings. The first title to carry such eco-friendly cases is Sin & Punishment Star Successor for the Nintendo Wii.

There are no specifics on what materials were used for these new cases but for sure they are made with the environment in mind. Now you don't have to worry about checking if your games are indeed in the box, since the semi-transparent casing will make it easier for you to check it out.
