With the designer speaking to the importance of environmental sustainability, Re:Style garnered great media attention.

In this perspective, the collection made of car seat waste materials from Hyundai Motor is another great way to emphasize sustainability,” said Zhang Na. “I am very glad to be part of the collaboration with one of the biggest automotive companies in the world. I am also surprised by the fact that Hyundai Motor tries its best to be sustainable with diverse activities. All of our purpose is to make less waste, recycle and restyle.”

Recycled car seat waste has been recreated as backpack pendants and as a detachable waistcoat to create a sporty yet simple look. Media who attended the event enjoyed the collection for its narration of an equally active and sustainable lifestyle in a playful way.
