In collaboration with founder Zsofia Kollar, Leila Gordon designed and produced a techwear climbing jacket and snowpant for the Human Material Loop, an innovative textile brand based in the Netherlands.

These garments were commissioned for the purpose of protesting the cruelty behind down feather insulant, and the polluting micro-plastics from synthetic fiber-fill found in commercial jackets, bedding, and insulation.
