Plastic Oceans, originally recognised for its focus on plastic pollution, is moving towards a broader understanding of environmental challenges. Plastic remains one of the most visible signs of a deeper crisis, but it is no longer treated as an isolated issue. It is connected to production systems, waste management, urban planning, water security, marine protection, supply chains, public policy and economic behaviour.

Memories of the Earth, a collection born of consciousness and intimacy, is inspired by roots as silent witnesses to time, where denim, natural dyes, and sustainability become an honest way to create and understand fashion today.

I've been at Plastic Oceans for 5 months, and in that time, my internship has become, without exaggeration, one of the most enriching experiences I've had, contributing my little bit to our planet Earth. Not only because of the learning, but also because of the clarity with which we understood how the resources around us work, including fashion, which, like any industry, has a real responsibility to the planet.
