Through a shared commitment to restoring our world’s oceans and environment, KROST & Nautica have joined together to design their first collaboration in partnership with Oceana 501 (c)(3). Embark on a journey where heritage meets innovation, style meets philanthropy, and fashion meets the profound impact of ocean conservation. The KROST x Nautica Collection is more than apparel; it's a statement of dedication to timeless fashion and the preservation of our planet's most precious resource.
Drawing inspiration from the Nautica archives and their heritage roots, this collection includes an assortment of classic, retro, and refined silhouettes with stripes, color blocking, and shoreline designs that are native to Nautica’s legacy. 1% of collection net sales will support Oceana, a distinguished 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to preserving and restoring the world's oceans.
“Our partnership with KROST was a thoughtful connection,” said Steve McSween, Vice President - Global Design at Nautica. “They are a young brand that brought a point of view rich with nautical references and a heart for our environment. I am thrilled to have spent time with them.”
The collaboration reflects the shared commitment of Nautica and KROST to contribute positively to the planet's health and future by dedicating 1% of net sales to support the vital work of Oceana, the largest international organization dedicated solely to ocean conservation. In doing so, this collaboration will aid in the preservation and protection of marine ecosystems, the reduction of plastic pollution, the conservation of endangered species and the promotion of sustainable fishing practices.
“The upcoming KROST x Nautica release in support of Oceana has been a truly humbling and exciting experience for both myself and the team. We are honored and eternally grateful to have worked together to design a collection that pays homage to Nautica’s iconic heritage while also reflecting our shared values of giving back.” - Samuel Krost, Founder of KROST.
