Prada is back with the third chapter of its Re-Nylon collaboration, and this time, it’s taking viewers on a cinematic journey in partnership with National Geographic CreativeWorks. The initiative, rooted in sustainable innovation and cultural impact, unfolds through a series of four new short films featuring Benedict Cumberbatch, Sadie Sink, and a cast of ocean advocates.
Each episode dives into the origins of Prada’s Re-Nylon project, an ambitious effort to regenerate plastic waste from oceans and landfills into high-fashion essentials. Joining the star-studded cast are SEA BEYOND ambassadors Valentina Gottlieb and Giovanni Chimienti, as well as local National Geographic experts who bring real-world context to the story.
In this season, Cumberbatch explores the pristine landscapes of Norway, while Sink ventures to the vibrant waters of Mexico. These films go beyond surface-level storytelling—offering an unfiltered glimpse into the fragile ecosystems under threat and the collaborative efforts needed to protect them. By blending culture, science, and design, the series asks viewers to rethink how we interact with our planet and resources.
Prada Re-Nylon isn’t just about cutting-edge fashion; it’s about reimagining what sustainability can look like. Since 2019, the Prada Group has been actively connecting fashion with ocean preservation through the SEA BEYOND educational program, a partnership with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. The initiative’s mission? To inspire younger generations to understand and protect the oceans that sustain us all.
What makes the Re-Nylon project unique is its tangible impact: 1% of proceeds from the collection directly support SEA BEYOND. It’s a way of linking Prada’s luxury ethos to actionable change—proof that sustainability and style don’t have to exist in opposition.
This latest installment expands on the narrative, reminding us that behind every Re-Nylon piece is a story of innovation, responsibility, and connection. From the depths of the sea to the runways of Milan, it’s a testament to the evolving role of fashion in shaping a more thoughtful future.
