Mel Ottenberg and RE/DONE teamed up for sustainable jeans collection and the 80s have never been so trendy and so close.
After 10 years of adventure, RE/DONE and its unique recycled pieces are now worn by fashion icons like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid.
And this fall, another prominent figure in the fashion world is spotlighting RE/DONE jeans, Mel Ottenberg. “I wear a lot of jeans. I typically wear vintage 80s Levi’s 505s because they look great on the butt and have the perfect leg”, explains the fashion expert, stylist, and editor-in-chief of Interview Magazine. After entrusting his denim look to his colleagues at RE/DONE, the perfect denim uniform, MEL by RE/DONE, was born.
The capsule collection consists of the MEL jeans in two washes (medium blue and light acid), a trucker jacket, the Club Mel graphic tee, and a selection of recycled Levi’s 505s. All unisex and, of course, sustainable.
The MEL jeans style is very classic and very 80s. The high waist allows them to be worn tight and high on the hips, or more casually and relaxed. Also included is a limited edition of recycled Levi’s 505s.
As for sustainability, the MEL jacket and jeans are made from 100% organic cotton. The RE/DONE/Levi’s 505 garments are 100% recycled from vintage denim, while the graphic tees are made from 30% recycled cotton using old-school tubular construction.
You can shop for this limited edition collaboration on the RE/DONE website and at SSENSE.
