For those who may not know, the previous collection Metaverse Design Story, showcased futuristic looks. In contrast, the upcoming Re-Enchantment Design Story is expected to feature a distinct and captivating design aesthetic.

Past themes explored by the platform have included animal prints and sustainable alternatives to animal-derived materials, as well as circular design strategies that focus on repurposing materials and fabrics that utilize reclaimed waste.

Ann-Sofie Johansson, the creative advisor at H&M, explains: “With this collection, we wanted to focus on the progress H&M has made with recycled-content embellishments.

“It’s always important to take a long-term perspective when it comes to sustainability, while at the same time agitating for change.

“Increasing the recycled content of the sequins, beads and rhinestones to 100% in this collection represents years of hard work and collaboration between multiple teams at H&M, and we know it will have a big impact on future collections.

Meanwhile Ella Soccorsi, assortment designer at H&M, adds: “This collection celebrates the wonder of the natural world with beautifully embellished looks designed to delight.

“Not only are they dazzling from a fashion perspective, but they represent a milestone in more sustainably sourced embellishments, something we’ve worked hard to improve over the last eight years.”

It’s no secret that H&M’s sustainability efforts have faced extensive criticism, with the brand being accused of greenwashing. As a fast fashion brand, it’s fair to say that it can’t ever be truly sustainable, but their commitment to discovering new and eco-friendly fabrics and production methods is a step in the right direction.
