BARBARA DE VRIES
Barbara, who is perhaps best known as the Design Director who launched CK-Calvin Klein, started a love/hate relationship with beach plastic seven years ago. Since then, her collections have incorporated beach plastic as a new weathered material that is not only forever but also glamorous. Her work has been featured by gallery Diet in Miami, Barneys NY, Vogue and a short documentary film called One Beach.

TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
