It’s not quite like Lady Gaga’s controversial meat dress.
But Under Armour’s Green collection will have you wearing old water bottles — literally — and other recycled materials.
“The ultra-lightweight fabric comes from melting the bottles down and stretching them out, which also creates a super durable fabric that fights odor and dries faster,” a PR rep for the popular company tells me in an email.
“In 2011, UA estimated that they would convert over 2,000,000 one-liter plastic bottles into performance products.”
Bottoms up!
Below are a few items from the UA Green women’s collection, affectionately known as the Catalyst line:
• Women’s UA Catalyst II Hoody, $44.99
• Women’s UA Catalyst Pullover Hoody, $44.99
• Women’s UA Catalyst Shortsleeve T-Shirt, $29.99
• Women’s Waffle Longsleeve Crew Neck, $39.99
