H&M Goes Sustainable

H&M just launched The Garden Collection for Spring 2010. This line is made with environmentally adapted materials like recycled polyester, organic cotton, and organic linen. As the desire by consumers for organic clothing grows, H&M created a line that would please their customer and contribute to a more sustainable world. This is a store known for quick and inexpensive fashion. This looks like a step in the right direction!

My favorite looks from this collection include the adorable blue short with ruffles paired with a floral blouse and this tunic with the khaki short below. See the H&M fashion video and view the The Garden Collection line.
