Pineapple + Orange Fabrics Rock Sustainable H&M Conscious Exclusive 2019 Collection

Oumie Jammeh, Alanna Arrington and Imaan Hammam encourage us to embrace a sustainable future, buying into the H&M Conscious Exclusive 2019 Campaign, lensed by Josh Olins.

H&M’s latest Conscious Exclusive collection—its ninth so far —introduces three materials the brand is using for the first time: Piñatex, a leather alternative made from the cellulose fiber of pineapple leaves (which become waste after the fruit is harvested); Orange Fiber, a silklike fabric made from the peels of oranges at the end of the juice production cycle; and BLOOM Foam, a high-performance foam made from algae biomass, which “cleans the environment and reduces the risk of algal blooms while reducing our dependence on fossil fuels,” according to the company’s website.
