Lyfcycle, Smiley partner to develop eco-friendly fashion line

Lyfcycle, the eco-conscious fashion brand, has collaborated with Smiley to create a sustainable fashion line. Smiley x Lyfcycle products are earmarked to hit major retail stores from summer 2020.

Michaela Fass, Senior Vice President, Smiley fashion division, said, “Lyfcycle specializes in sustainable garment sourcing and has developed a new technology that allows them to recycle and reuse all waste fabric from production.”

“With Smiley’s authentic position at the forefront of peace, protest, and activism, it’s a natural progression for us to start developing a wave of new sustainable products. All Smiley x Lyfcycle products will be made from recycled cotton, which has been blended with organic cotton to ensure Zero-Waste from source, while all waste fabric from production is recycled and reused,” Fass added.

The collaboration consists of the use of recycled fabrics, and all product packaging and labeling will be recycled and recyclable.

Adriana Batty, Co-Founder of Lyfcycle, stated, “It’s no secret that the apparel and footwear industry continues to have a substantial negative carbon impact and is a major contributor to the worsening state of climate change.”

“At Lyfcycle, we’re driven by the need to implement positive changes in the way clothing is sourced and manufactured, and it’s through partnerships with counter-culture brands like Smiley that we stand a chance of delivering sustainable clothing on a large scale. Only with far-reaching collaborations and transparency across the industry, can we hope to make a positive impact,” Batty further added.
