the_future_looks_circular_0_2.jpg
For the latest addition to H&M's Innovation stories we were inspired by the joy of dressing up.
What sets this collection apart is how we've considered what happens to each garment once it's
reached the end of its life cycle, at the start of the design process. This is key for moving
towards a circular future.
Forward-thinking ideas, innovative fabrications and ground-breaking materials take centre stage. Here's a
closer look at the collection.
