In partnership with Yooxygen, British eco fashion pioneer, Katharine Hamnett just launched a project that’s near and dear to her heart – her new line, BEACH, and her Save the Sea eco friendly collection.  Given the current environmental debacle in our Gulf Coast, Hamnett’s timing couldn’t be better.

The chic bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, cover-ups, totes and towels are ethically made and comprised of organic cotton, silk, and recycled polyester.

A percentage of the retail price of each piece will go toward helping farmers in West Africa through “Fashioning a Better Future,” a project set up by Hamnett and run by the Organic Exchange, a registered U.S. charity.
