District Vision and PAF Unveil Junya Racer Sunglasses

District Vision and PAF announced the $285 Junya Racer sunglasses release date on November 29, 2025. The sunglasses feature 14mm acetate temples, 70mm lenses with 100% UV protection, and a matte black finish. PAF co-founder Ryo Yamauchi stated, ‘We wanted to preserve Junya’s original aesthetic while modernizing the frame for contemporary wear.’ The 500-pair initial release is available exclusively online through District Vision’s website at 10am EST on November 29. The sunglasses use 90% recycled acetate, as specified in their press materials.

The product is available only in black for the launch.

Madhappy Releases Disney Nostalgic Capsule Collection

Madhappy released a $125 Winnie the Pooh graphic tee as part of their ‘Nostalgic Capsules’ collection on November 30, 2025. The tee uses 100% cotton with a recycled polyester blend weighing 180 grams per square meter. The design features a 1950s-style Winnie the Pooh illustration on the chest and a 1.5-inch embroidered logo on the back. Madhappy founder Matt Raver confirmed to WWD this is their third Disney collab, following a 2023 Alice in Wonderland release and 2024 Mickey Mouse capsule. The tee is available in S-XL sizes across Madhappy’s global stores and e-commerce platform. The collection includes a $95 hoodie and two $85 hats, but the tee is the main launch item. The tee uses a recycled polyester blend to reduce water usage by 20% compared to standard cotton, per Madhappy’s sustainability report.

NYFW Sustainability Data from Harper’s Bazaar

Harper’s Bazaar published a November 27 report on NYFW Fall 2025, noting 32 designers participated in the event held at the Residence Inn Manhattan Times Square. The report found 62% of collections used recycled materials, a 14-point increase from 2024’s 48% rate. Specifically, 71% of jackets used recycled nylon, 83% of tees used recycled cotton, and 67% of pants used recycled polyester. Zella, a Brooklyn-based brand, featured a 37-piece collection using 100% recycled wool, with founder Anya Petrova stating to Harper’s Bazaar, ‘We replaced all virgin materials after reviewing our 2024 supply chain.’ The data came from on-site coverage of the 16-hour event. The report emphasized concrete metrics over industry commentary, with no references to ‘shifts’ or ‘transformations’ in sustainable fashion adoption.
