Summary:

  • Letitia Wright fronts the second episode of the Prada Re-Nylon 2026 documentary series.
  • The episode focuses on marine conservation in Hawaii alongside local organizations.
  • Prada donates a percentage of Re-Nylon proceeds to the SEA BEYOND educational initiative.

Prada presents the second episode of the 2026 Re-Nylon documentary series. The brand partnered with National Geographic CreativeWorks to produce this visual project. British-Guyanese actor Letitia Wright leads the documentary. You follow her along the Hawaiian coast as she examines the local marine ecosystem. Hawaii holds extreme marine diversity, with nearly one quarter of local species existing nowhere else on Earth. The documentary strips away typical luxury fashion aesthetics to focus strictly on environmental realities.

The Hawaiian concept of Mālama 'aina dictates the relationship between people and their environment. This term translates to caring for the land and the ocean. People and nature maintain a strict balance on these Pacific islands. Wright explores this dynamic by meeting with local environmental figures. She dives with Titouan Bernicot, a SEA BEYONDer goodwill ambassador. Bernicot founded Coral Gardeners, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring coral reefs. The SEA BEYOND project supports his organization directly.

Education forms a core component of this conservation effort. Wright speaks with Kapono Ciotti, the Director of the Pacific American Foundation. His foundation partners with the Hawaii Blue School Hui. This regional group operates within the USA Blue School and the UNESCO-coordinated Blue School Global Network. These institutions integrate ocean literacy into their standard curriculums. The Hawaii Blue School Hui runs a two-year educational track. Students learn about the ocean through local projects focusing on native biodiversity and Hawaiian cultural heritage. Students dive underwater to see the environmental challenges affecting the ocean firsthand. They become custodians of their local waters. SEA BEYOND provides the necessary backing for this specific learning pathway. NMEA leads the USA Blue School network. This organization promotes the understanding and protection of aquatic ecosystems.

SEA BEYOND is a Prada Group educational program. The brand runs the initiative in partnership with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO. The program began in 2019 to raise awareness about ocean sustainability and global ocean literacy. SEA BEYOND has reached over 38,000 students globally since launching. Prada expanded the project in 2023 with the Asilo della Laguna program in Venice. This outdoor education initiative connects young children with the local lagoon ecosystem. SEA BEYOND recently broadened the scope to fund scientific research and community support projects. The program also advocates for marine protection at international institutions. In 2025, Prada launched the SEA BEYOND Multi-Partner Trust Fund for Connecting People and Ocean. This fund mobilizes financial resources from multiple partners to restore the human relationship with the ocean. The Prada Group also trains global employees on ocean literacy using virtual reality and the AWorld app. The United Nations selected AWorld as an official platform to encourage sustainable living.

You fund these initiatives when you purchase items from the Prada Re-Nylon collection. Since July 2023, Prada allocates 1% of the proceeds from the Prada Re-Nylon for SEA BEYOND collection to the educational program. You browse the full documentary episode and the product list on the Prada website.

Letitia Wright brings a high profile to this environmental campaign. She gained global recognition for playing Shuri in the 2018 film Black Panther and the 2022 sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. She won a BAFTA Rising Star award and a SAG Award for her initial performance. She also starred in acclaimed projects like Small Axe, The Silent Twins, and Aisha. Wright expanded her career into directing and producing. She made her directorial debut in 2025 with the award-winning short film Highway To The Moon. She returned to the stage the same year with a sold-out run of Not Your Superwoman at the Bush Theatre. In 2026, she debuts at the National Theatre in the play The Story.
