The campaign aims to encourage conserving materials by showcasing recycled old clothes in their new collection:

We applaud H&M for taking such a step, and hope others catch on to it soon, because the headscarf looks ridiculously good and the fashion industry needs to start recognising other cultural clothing and integrating it into their collections.
