Both Simone Rocha and H&M were determined to honour their collaborative collection in an imaginative, pioneering and
artful manner, while also being safe and instep with social-distancing guidelines. Therefore, they selected to forgo a physical
in-person global event in favour of a curated digital celebration: a pioneering pop-up book AR experience. This is a truly
experimental creation, and the first of its kind – a dynamic way of bringing art, fashion and iconic figures into invited guests’
homes, through technology.

PACKAGING
They use mostly white and red paper bags with shades of grey. The
packaging is usually all coordinated (Shopper bags, shipment boxes,
transport cartons). Currently, they are avoiding plastic bages, to
reinforce their commitment towards sustainability. In specific periods,
they coordinate the packaging with the event that is coming such as
Christmas or Valentine.
LABELING
Having invited its customers to donate used clothing back to its stores,
Hennes & Mauritz AB is now encouraging them to reduce the
environmental impact of caring for their garments. The Swedish high-
street giant has introduced a new labelling system, Clever Care,
developed with Ginetex, the International Association for Textile Care
Labelling. It directs customers to a Web site, clevercare.info, that
provides tips on how to minimise the impact of garment care through
simple measures like lowering wash temperatures and reducing the
use of tumble drying and dry cleaning. Catarina Midby, sustainable
fashion manager at H&M, said the Clever Care logo, which resembles
a water lily, already appears on the care labels of around 50 percent of
the retailer’s products and will be fully integrated by the end of the
year, with the exception of underwear, home wear and some
accessories. “We realized that we wanted to do something about wear
and care phase of a garment’s life cycle when we started studying life
cycles and so forth at the design office to see how we could affect the
general footprint of a garment from production through to the user
phase,” she said. “We know that over 60 percent of our customers do
read the care labels, so we thought that’s where we need to be,” she
added.
QUALITY.
In recent years, H&M has made efforts to be more transparent with its
social responsibility efforts, releasing a hefty Conscious Actions
Sustainability Report in 2010 that outlined its sustainability goals and
action roadmap. The company also dabbled in small scale sustainable
fashion campaigns like a capsule organic cotton line in 2007, a recycled
fabric commitment in 2009, and an eco-fiber Garden Collection in 2010,
none of which gained much notice. In 2011, however, H&M stepped up
its efforts with the release of a muchanticipated Conscious Collection, a
white-hued line of separates made from organic cotton, Tencel®, and
recycled polyester. New lines for 2012 haven’t yet been announced, but
it appears that H&M is folding its sustainability efforts into more of its
products across the board.
