Elan partners with Namrata Joshipura to launch 'Earth Tee'
To mark World Environment Day on June 5, Reliance Industries Limited's sustainable fabric brand R|Elan launched the seventh edition of its Earth Tee in collaboration with fashion designer Namrata Joshipura. The Earth Tee 7.0 is made using R|Elan GreenGold fabric, produced entirely from PET bottles collected at Lakmé Fashion Week 2025 at Mumbai's Jio World Convention Centre.
This year's edition marks a shift from exclusivity to public availability, Reliance Industries announced in a press release. For the first time, the Earth Tee can be purchased through environmental NGO SankalpTaru Foundation, with the proceeds going towards tree plantation initiatives. For every tee sold, SankalpTaru will plant three trees, turning the garment into a tangible act of climate action.
The initiative also integrates sustainable packaging: the tee's container can be reused as a plant holder, and its tags and wrappers contain seeds that can be sown directly into soil. The entire product lifecycle has been designed with environmental regeneration in mind.
Previously distributed only to a small group of stakeholders, Earth Tee 7.0 aims to expand participation in the circular fashion movement. Through this release, R|Elan invites the wider public to engage in its #WearTheChange campaign.

Greenpeace slams Coca-Cola for producing billions of plastic bottles
Activists erected a giant bottle cap outside the company's Johannesburg office emblazoned with the slogan "Cap it Coke" in a demonstration held on World Environment Day. Coca-Cola has been the world's top plastic polluter for six consecutive years, the environmental activist group claimed. "Coca-Cola produces 120 billion throwaway plastics every year. And most of it will end up in the environment and in the marine ecosystem," Greenpeace representative Hellen Kahaso Dena told AFP. "So today, we are outside the office telling them to cut plastic production, invest in refill and reuse, and ensure that they are investing in other sustainable forms of packaging such as glass and cans," she said. The company's claims to be promoting plastics recycling amounted to "greenwashing", she claimed. "We know that only about nine percent gets recycled. Most of the plastic will end up in the environment," Dena said. The group also urged Coca-Cola to stand behind a push for a Global Plastic Treaty that will prioritise a cap on plastic production. Negotiations among delegates from nearly 200 nations for the world's first accord on cutting plastics pollution ended without agreement in South Korea last year after opposition from a bloc of mainly oil-producing countries. A new round is due in Geneva in August. Since the failure of the talks, Coca-Cola lowered its environmental commitments by effectively scrapping a pledge to reach 25 percent reusable packaging by 2030, and pushing back dates and amounts for recycling goals. Over 99 percent of plastics derive from fossil fuels, directly linking plastic production to the climate crisis, Greenpeace said.

D-R-G-N appoints new creative director
U.S. fashion brand D-R-G-N has appointed French designer Ben Taverniti to the role of creative director. A graduate of the ESMOD fashion school in Paris, Taverniti began his career as the head designer at Taverniti Couture, before serving as the head designing assistant to Jeremy Scott. In 2004, the Frenchman relocated to Los Angeles to become the creative director at Hudson Jeans, followed by his launching of Unravel Project, a luxury streetwear brand, in 2015. Known for its deconstructed and reconstructed designs, the co-ed brand's designs feature inside-out jeans, reverse-zipped bombers and lace-up leather pants, which have been spotted on mega celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber. Earlier this year, the designer debuted another luxury women's brand, Nvl-Garde, from Milan, where he is based today. 'Ben and I have always shared the common belief that fashion is about self expression, and great fashion authentically reflects the soul,' said Peter Kim, CEO and co-founder of D-R-G-N, who worked alongside Taverniti at Hudson Jeans, as CEO and co-founder of the denim brand. 'We're excited to bring that shared vision to life through a brand as symbolic as D-R-G-N. His ability to merge technical design with emotional depth is unmatched.' D-R-G-N is an emerging luxury men's streetwear brand created by Kim's Golden Circle Group, a brand accelerator focused on nurturing new brands, and Bruce Lee Enterprises. The brand aims to continue Bruce Lee's legacy through an meaningful apparel collection - Tees, fleeces, and jogger pants - rooted in the actor's principles and values of individual expression, according to a press release. 'D-R-G-N is more than a brand—it's a philosophy,' said Taverniti. 'It challenges me to go deeper as a designer, to create pieces that don't just make a statement about Bruce Lee, or for Bruce Lee fans, but that carry deeper meaning men are seeking in functional, high-quality pieces.'
