One Direction has introduced a line that blends fashion with a social mission. Alongside familiar back-to-school staples like notebooks, pencil cases, and folders, the group is launching its own nail polish collection to advance anti-bullying efforts. The project is a collaboration with Office Depot, a major American retailer, and the products are intended to fund education programs that promote bully-free schools across the United States. Office Depot notes that part of the proceeds will support anti-bullying education campaigns, peer mentoring initiatives, and classroom resources designed to empower students and teachers in communities nationwide. The aim is to turn a common, everyday item into a conduit for kindness, giving families a simple way to participate in a broader cause while schools gain extra resources to strengthen anti-bullying programs. The announcement shows how celebrity-linked products can translate into real benefits for students seeking safe, inclusive classrooms. In stores, the nail polish will appear alongside related school goods, with displays that emphasize respect and inclusion. By pairing a cosmetics item with a social mission, the effort hopes to spark conversations about bullying and encourage students to stand with their peers.
Each member will be represented by a distinct shade to help fans connect with their favorite member while spreading the anti-bullying message. Zayn is represented by lime green, signaling energy and renewal; Harry’s blue conveys trust and calm; Louis’s orange signals boldness; Niall’s purple nods to creativity; and Liam’s navy blue provides depth. The nail polish is slated for a July release, aligned with back-to-school shopping and the start of a new school year in many regions. The line will sit beside the group
0s school-ready staples, giving fans a chance to support a charitable cause without sacrificing style. Packaging keeps standard safety features, with clear labeling and child-safe lids shared across the collection. The colors are designed to stand out on shelves and be practical for daily use, while reinforcing the core message of kindness in schools.
Proceeds from the sale will fund anti-bullying education, school-wide campaigns, peer mentoring, and resources for teachers and administrators, to support classrooms that need them most. The collaboration uses Office Depot
0s network to place items in local stores and online, turning back-to-school shopping into support for bully-free schools. The initiative also aims to raise awareness about bullying while providing practical resources that schools can implement quickly, such as classroom materials, anti-bullying lesson kits, and staff training. Fans can follow the rollout for color stories, restocks, and related activities that reinforce a culture of kindness in schools. The effort mirrors a broader trend of entertainment brands partnering with retailers to back education, offering families an easy way to contribute while enjoying products they love. Donors can expect updates on fund usage, program examples, and community events that celebrate kindness, sustaining momentum over time across schools. The aim is to complement ongoing school safety measures rather than replace them, ensuring that resources reach classrooms that need them most.
