The second daughter illustrates the functionality of the Sleeping Bag Puffer Jacket (100% recycled polyester and WIND.RDY fabric) and the Winter COLD.RDY Boots (made with heat-conserving, high-performance recycled materials), among others, in a new campaign alongside R&B singer and rapper Audrey Nuna, trans-disciplinary artist Alima Lee, and non-binary actress and educator Yanece Cotto.
