Two icons of Australian popular culture are coming together for a great cause.
Ken Done, one of Australia’s most celebrated artists, has teamed up with clothing brand Havaianas for a limited edition release of thongs.
The thongs are based off Done’s Barrier Reef Garden print from 1984, one of his many colourful and evocative depictions of Australia’s beautiful landscape, and a portion of the proceeds for every pair sold will be donated to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, which remains the only Australian independent, not-for-profit organisation solely dedicated to raising funds for scientific research into preserving the Reef.
Given it is one of Australia’s enduring natural landmarks, this is a great opportunity to contribute to the awareness of the Reef’s importance, with the thongs’ brilliant splashes of colour proving to be a rather fetching statement.
The thongs are available presale atHavaianasaustralia.com.au, and will land in participating retailers on Friday 30 September.
