When designing the H&M Innovation Metaverse Design Story collection, H&M looked to the virtual reality world for inspiration. Three distinct dimensions are used to celebrate individual expression and promote environmentally responsible practices in a range of clothing for women and men.

The first dimension focuses on designs created with the concept of circularity in mind. Pieces that are available in rental programs at select H&M stores are the focus of the second dimension. Meanwhile, the third dimension focuses on a digital collection that was co-designed by H&M and the London-based Institute of Digital Fashion.

The increasingly virtual dimension of fashion creates exciting future opportunities for H&M, allowing us to create vibrant, bold and daring virtual counterparts to our physical collections. In addition to the endless creative possibilities, it also allows us to propose a more sustainable and inclusive fashion vision that can be accessed by anyone, anywhere in the world.
