WWD.Com – Signaling its ongoing ambitions in the sustainability space, Napapijri has drafted Taron Egerton for its fall 2020 Choose Future campaign, which was shot in the countryside and on the beaches of the actorās native Wales.
The outdoor brand owned by VF Corp. has long been flying the sustainability flag: It started working on theĀ development of sustainable productsĀ in 2012 when it became fur-free.
Not long after, it stopped using down feathers and began introducing sustainable, lightweight, recyclable materials such as Econyl nylon, a high-performance yarn recycled from discarded fishing nets and other waste materials. It also began employing digital knitting techniques aimed at reducing the use of raw materials, water and chemical dyes.
Fall 2020 is an important season for the brand as it marks the launch of the Napapijri Circular Series, a family of fully recyclable jackets entirely made of Nylon6, which is recyclable and durable. The collection includes an anorak, puffer and longer ārainforestā jacket.
The fall 2020 shoot is the latest installment in Napapijriās ongoing Choose Future campaign series, which made its debut in 2019. The series is meant to telegraph positivity, with a focus on ātaking action for a better society,ā according to the company.
Napapijri Taps Actor Taron Egerton for Latest āChoose Futureā Campaign

Taron Egerton: āThe Tetris film is more Social Network than Lego Movie!ā
Written by Tiffany on August 24 2020
gq-magazine.co.uk – Days before lockdown, Taron Egerton and his partner, Emily, left London for Wales. Back to Aberystwyth, where he grew up, his family still lives and nobody cares who he is. āThere were rumblings of martial law,ā he remembers. āTanks on the M4! And I started to believe it.ā He was still in Wales when we spoke last week. āIn some respects, itās been lovely,ā he says. āI devoured books.ā He shows me a bookcase and raves about a local author, Niall Griffiths. He is a bit like Cormac McCarthy. He also read Emily St John Mandelās Station Eleven, which is about a pandemic. Bit intense? āI had a panic attack reading it.ā
Mostly, though, Egerton seems entirely calm. We caught up as Montblanc unveiled their latest campaign, What Moves You, Makes You, for which Egerton will start making his mark with the maison. Just a man in a black T-shirt and black cap, at his kitchen table on the other end of a chatty Zoom call, his life now is some shift from last year, when he was on a global gallivant to promote Rocketman, the Elton John biopic that dazzled with its invention and candid homosexuality. From that toā¦ this. It must feel like a comedown of āElton-in-the-1980sā proportions.
āIt has felt like a nice antidote,ā he argues. āAs much as I enjoyed last year, with all the craziness, itās nice to step away from the limelight. Iāve enjoyed being in my hometown. I feel like a member of a community. Rocketman was very exciting. I met Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt. But itās good to get back to reality. I like being down the road from my mum. I like being down the road from my little sisters. Itās very important for my sanity. I love Hollywood, but I like to withdraw back to something that feels more normal.ā
This year, Egerton was named a āMark-Makerā for Montblanc. He likes the brand, from its pens to an 1858 watch thatās now in his collection. āItās got a sense of history to it and a nifty means of distinguishing time zones,ā he says, āwhich is lovely when things are busier. Iām constantly combating chaos in my life and Montblancās products give structure to what would otherwise be a whirlwind of creative thoughts.ā
So he likes to write? āI do. And I hope to more in the future and to have my first go at directing. What I find, when you have luxurious products, is it reminds you to exercise a discipline in your creative life and have some order that begets creativity.ā Will he write his proposed film out by hand then? āWell, actually, the thing Iām hoping to direct doesnāt have any dialogue in it.ā
