Cardi B dazzles in Paris with a dress made from recycled prom dresses, showing that sustainable fashion can be chic.
In a world saturated with fast fashion, Cardi B stands out with her sustainable approach. During her recent visit to Paris to celebrate her daughter Kulture‘s sixth birthday, the rapper wowed everyone with an innovative look: a hoodie transformed into a mini dress. This unique ensemble comes from the brand Prototypes, a young Swiss label known for its recycling and reutilization principles.
Founded by Laura Beham and Callum Pidgeon in 2021, Prototypes draws inspiration from Vetements and focuses on creating sustainable fashion. The Hoodie Babydoll dress, part of their Series 03 collection presented at Paris Fashion Week in spring 2023, was crafted from vintage prom dresses and cotton hoodies with gloves. This design allows the glove sleeves to be worn as wrist decorations, a choice Cardi styled effortlessly.
Cardi completed her look with Balenciaga heels, renowned for their sock-like appearance, while her stylist Tokyo Stylez gave her an asymmetrical bang and Erika La’Pearl added a touch of glamour with deep red lips and lined eyes. This outfit not only highlighted her unique style but also her commitment to sustainable fashion. With this gesture, Cardi B proves that recycling in fashion is not only necessary but also incredibly chic.
