H&M has announced a new upcycled capsule collection for its Weekday
brand made of denim from its old collections.
The “Re-Made” collection, co-created with the H&M group’s Laboratory –
the internal innovation department that explores new business models, is
made exclusively from denim and aims to shine a spotlight on more
circular production practices. “This project is just one of the ways
that the H&M group aims to create
a two-way dialogue with their customers and to provide them with
sustainable fashion that they really want, thus making smarter choices for
the environment and creating clothes that are more likely to be loved for
longer,” H&M said on its website.
The launch comes as H&M – and the wider fashion industry as a whole –
increasingly focuses on ways of addressing the issue of excessive waste. Last month, H&M announced it would
on the Swedish site of its & Other Stories brand, while earlier today,
Farfetch announced the launch of
H&M Group’s new sustainability project for its brand Weekday is now
available as an online exclusive.
