Client: Labo Mono urban jackets in The Metro - "Sustainable Fashion just got a cool makeover"

Client Ali Namdari's amazing urban jackets 'Labo Mono" appearing in The Metro following a feature on my IGTV https://www.instagram.com/tv/Bxy-oIQB8SL/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/04/sustainable-fashion-just-got-a-new-cool-makeover-9723826/ After looking online for a good waterproof jacket that was both comfortable when cycling and didn’t look like a typical cycling jacket so he could wear it any time, designer Ali Namdari quickly realised his choices were almost nonexistent. https://www.labomono.com/ And the few jackets on the market that were typically in-between looked plain and were far from sustainably made. So, he created his own. Each one of Ali’s Urban Jackets is created using 30 plastic bottles. The bottles are collected, washed, shredded, melted into fine yarn, and woven to become Labo Mono’s recycled polyester fabric. This not only helps plastic bottles start a new and actually useful life, but also help to make huge savings on water, energy, and CO2 emissions. An eco-friendly, PFC-free polymer waterproofing is then sourced in Germany and applied to all Labo Mono jackets. Labo Mono are currently taking pre-orders for the £119 jacket on Kickstarter, and will open their online store in October 2019 and one exclusive retail store in East London.
