As much as we love it, fashion can be tough on our planet. Dyes, plastics, bleaches, waste – it adds up, and it's becoming clear that changes have to be made. H&M are doing their part to set the trends for a more sustainable (yet still fabulous) future with their new "Conscious Exclusive" collection, an "elevated assortment created using sustainable materials and fabrics".
To celebrate the launch of the collection, H&M creative advisor Ann-Sofie Johansson hosted an exclusive dinner in Los Angeles. Attendees included the face of the campaign, Natalia Vodianova, and luminaries from a variety of creative backgrounds, joined together in support of a future rooted in sustainability. Notable attendees were too many to count, but among them the likes of **Chrissy Tiegen**, **Orlando Bloom**, **Kate Mara**, **Ahna O'Reilly**, **Angela Lindvall**, **Rowan Blanchard, Hailey Baldwin**, Kiersey Clemons, **Sasha Lane**, **Lucky Blue Smith** and Stormi Bree could be spotted.
The intimate evening was held at the uber eco-friendly SmogShoppe. Entering guests were greeted by an art installation featuring the centerpiece of the H&M Conscious Exclusive collection: an "ethereal plissé pleated gown featuring BIONIC®, a polyester made from recycled shoreline plastic". After mingling amidst cocktails, the guests took their seats to enjoy a farm-to-table meal by chef Suzanne Goin of L.A. staple Lucques, which was delightfully paired with ethically-sourced speaker-to-ear tunes spun by DJ Nikki Pennie.
