Krost is continuing its commitment to philanthropy with a new collaboration.

The New York-based streetwear label is teaming with Nautica on a capsule collection that gives back to Oceana, an organization that works to protect and restore oceans. While this is the first time Krost and Nautica are teaming up, both brands have a long history giving back to Oceana.

“The upcoming Krost x Nautica release in support of Oceana has been a truly humbling and exciting experience for both myself and the team,” said Samuel Krost, founder of Krost. “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.” 

Both brands looked to a nautical vibe for the collection, which offers pieces like dress shirts, sweaters, cardigans, T-shirts, jackets, shorts, trousers and hats. Both brands took inspiration from Nautica’s archives and heritage pieces to create a retro, yet modern collection. 

The collection also leverages some of Nautica’s heritage design codes, such as its stripe motif, colorblocking and shoreline designs. 

“Our partnership with Krost was a thoughtful connection,” said Steve McSween, vice president of 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 is Krost’s latest giveback initiative. For its spring 2023 collection, Krost reunited with the Eden Reforestation Projects to donate proceeds to the organization, which aims to fight climate change. Krost previously teamed with the organization in 2019, where it was able to plant more than 12,500 trees in six countries. The brand has also worked with organizations such as March for Our Lives, Team No Kid Hungry and New York Restoration Project, among others. 

The Krost x Nautica collection will be available for purchase on both brands’ websites and at Nordstrom and Revolve.
