In another photo, she’s “Save Water,” wearing wings made from thrown-out water bottles and upcycled trash bags.

Swanepoel models two looks, one called “Flintstones” and one called “Dark.” Her looks are created from pieces found at La Réserve des Arts, which collects and recycles materials used in the entertainment industry. For her “Dark” look, her shoes are made of trash bags.

Other looks include Sampaio as “In the News,” with a look made from newspaper, Hosk as “Picnic,” wearing a picnic blanket and Ribeiro as “Football,” wearing footballs that were cut open and fitted to be a bra top.

More or Lessfounder Jaime Perlman told theNew York Postthat said the photo shoot with upcycled styles was not only a nod to the Angels' roots but also to the very real issues of climate change and consumerism.

“The most disruptive thing in fashion right now is humor,” Perlman toldThe Post. “And we always try to inject some into serious subjects. Sometimes fashion can take itself a bit too seriously. I think there is a hesitancy for people to go more eco because it’s a heavy subject and will scare people off.”

To push his message, Perlman chose to use the Angels to bring a sort of levity to it all. “It’s like they’re making their comeback but in a recycled sort of way,” Perlman shared. “These women have huge followings and many are genuinely interested in sustainability. And we wanted to look at fashion outside of the catwalk system.”

Last year, Victoria’s Secretdid away with the Angels, after previouslyscrapping the iconic Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The brand thenrelaunched with the VS CollectivefeaturingPriyanka Chopra,Megan Rapinoeand many other “accomplished women who share a common passion to drive positive change,” Victoria’s Secret announced in apress release.

The VS Collective promised to work with their new brand ambassadors to “create new associate programs, revolutionary product collections, compelling and inspiring content, and rally support for causes vital to women.”

“With The VS Collective, we are creating a platform that will build new, deeper relationships with all women. Through a series of collaborations, business partnerships and cause-related initiatives, we’re bringing new dimensions to our brand experience. In marrying our new partners' energy, creativity and perspectives with our network and scale, we can transform how we connect with and show up for women,” Victoria’s Secret’s Chief Marketing Officer Martha Pease saidin a statement.
