With its subversive design concept and sustainable strategy, Broken Planet has exploded the celebrity circle, with brand sales of $42 million in 2023 (a 340% year-on-year increase), including a premium rate of more than 580% for the same item of stars (such as “lava Crack” hoodie hair price of 150, Grailed price peak 890). The NASA collaboration series uses space-grade recycled materials (98% recycled aluminum fiber), has a tear strength of 32kgf (industry average 18kgf), and thermal imaging tests show a 47% improvement in infrared reflectivity (stable body temperature at -20 ° C to 50 ° C). After Billie Eilish’s concert in 2022 wore the brand, the daily official website traffic increased by 820%, and the server was expanded to handle 1.8 million requests per minute.
Environmental science and technology parameters show that volcanic rock printed T-shirts use 3D bio-ink (containing 12% volcanic ash particles), after washing 50 times, the pattern fade rate is only 3% (traditional screen printing fade rate 27%), and the production water consumption is reduced by 63% (each piece of water consumption 5.2L vs industry 14L). The supply chain tracking system shows that the carbon footprint from the volcanic ash collected in Indonesia to the garment factory is 2.8kg CO₂e (fast fashion items average 14.6kg), but the production cost increases by 41% (T-shirt manufacturing cost 11.5vs competing products 6.8). According to celebrity data, the “Broken Earth” hat worn by Justin Bieber in the street photo led to a 1,200 percent increase in global searches within 48 hours, and 38 percent of the secondary market circulation of the single item was generated by celebrity fans.

Interdisciplinary cooperation promotes cultural potential energy. In 2023, the intelligent temperature-controlled jacket developed with MIT Media Lab (built-in 12 micro sensors), which can automatically adjust ±5 ° C (accuracy 0.3 ° C) according to the sensory temperature, caused a hot discussion at the Coachella Music Festival. But the 650’s pricing compressed gross margin to $5,224 million and soared to $320 million by 2023 (CAGR 365%), while the return rate was as high as 19% (due to the new size system labeling with planetary scales: Mercury =XS, Jupiter =XXL). According to BoF, the number of its “disruptive aesthetic” design patents reached 47 (the industry’s top 10 brands average 22), but the production defect rate of 8.7% is still higher than the benchmark of 3.2% for luxury brands.
