Historic art inspires fashion for the future

-
NEW YORK, Nov. 25, 2015 / -- H&M is proud to announce a collaboration with the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, located in the Palais du Louvre in Paris to celebrate the new H&M Conscious Exclusive collection. This beautiful new range has been inspired by the archives of the museum, and will be launched on Thursday April 7th to coincide with the opening of the highly anticipated exhibition, Fashion forward - Three centuries of fashion. H&M is delighted to reveal Parisian Art Director, style maven and sustainability champion, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, will be the face of the campaign.
"I am honored to be the ambassador of such a unique project. I think that the idea of creating a collection inspired by the history of art and fashion is fantastic, especially since it is made with innovative and sustainable materials which are the future of fashion," says Julia. Known for her distinctively personal sense of style, Julia is the embodiment of effortless, conscious, modern cool.
For this Conscious Exclusive collection the H&M design team has worked closely with the museum, delving into their collections of archival fashions as well as the work of artists such as Gustave Moreau to find inspiration. The outcome is a glamorous line of modern red carpet pieces infused with tactile charm, a nostalgic aesthetic and a historical legacy.
"With this collection we brought the idea of sustainability to new levels. Working with new innovative materials such as beads and rhinestones made from recycled glass and Denimite, a material made from recycled worn-out denim. We have created contemporary styles imbued with a sophisticated charm," says Ann-Sofie Johansson, Creative Advisor at H&M.
H&M will be the exclusive sponsor of the upcoming exhibition which will include selected styles from the H&M archives, including a look from the first ever H&M designer collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld in 2004 as well as one silhouette from the new Conscious Exclusive collection.
The complete collection, featuring clothing and accessories for women, will be available from Thursday April 7th in approximately 180 stores worldwide and online at hm.com.

This year's data-driven list is determined by two simple criteria: the words must show a high volume of lookups and a significant year-over-year increase in lookups at Merriam-Webster.com. The results shed light on topics and ideas that sparked the nation's interest in 2016. The Word of the Year for 2016 is surreal —with lookups of the word spiking after a number of major events worldwide, beginning with the Brussels terror attacks in March.  Surreal was used in descriptions of the coup attempt in Turkey later in the year and in coverage of the terrorist attack in Nice.  The largest spike in lookups for surreal followed the U.S. election in November.  "Spikes of interest in a word are usually triggered by a single event, so what's truly remarkable this year about surreal is that so many diffe...
