Inspired by the archives of the museum, the sustainable collection features "modern red carpet pieces infused with tactile charm, a nostalgic aesthetic and a historical legacy." The design team worked with new innovative materials such as beads and rhinestones made from recycled glass and Denimite, a material made from recycled worn-out denim.

The collection will launch on April 7, 2016, to coincide with the opening of the exhibition "Fashion Forward - Three Centuries of Fashion". Parisian Art Director and sustainability champion Julia Restoin Roitfeld will be the face of the campaign.

"H&M Conscious Exclusive 2016" will be available to purchase in around 180 stores worldwide and online at hm.com.
