One example that really stood out to us was when she specifically asked Oscar de la Renta to design her MET Gala 2021 outfit from scratch – but fully sustainable and with no use of animal fur. Moving forward this has proved to be another iconic sustainable moment in fashion history.
This 19-year-old is redefining the identity of Gen-Z in so many ways. Not only is Billie Eilish a Grammy Award-winning Singer and Songwriter, she is now adding Designer and Nike co-creator to her expansive (and notably impressive) portfolio of work.
Billie recently took to Instagram to announce the partnership and share details on the ‘100% vegan’ Air Jordan sneakers – which are set to debut on Sept. 27. Captioned,“i’ve always loved @jumpman23 and it was such an incredible and surreal experience getting to create these, especially in a sustainable fashion (100% vegan with over 20% recycled material),”
The two Air Jordan silhouettes that are launching this week are available in separate styles — the Air Jordan 1KO and Air Jordan 15. While the sneakers still boast a classic Nike vibe, Eilish made sure to add her own unique flair to the shoes. Taking the classic Air Jordan 1 shape and stance, Billie flooded the style with a signature Lime Green—a nod to her past and her own starting point while looking towards the future.
Her personal favourite – The Air Jordan 15 will come in a taupe tone. Simply put, the Air Jordan 15 is one of Billie’s all-time favorite silhouettes. The sneaker itself was originally inspired by the X-15 hypersonic jet plane, with a dynamic inner bootie and Zoom Air technology seamlessly blending together fit, comfort, protection and style. It’s moccasin-like look makes it easy to slip-on—a key for Billie after she sprained her ankle and needed more stable footwear.
