H&M's New Conscious Collection Features Silver Pineapple Leather & Is Beyond Gorgeous

Stella McCartney proves it. Reformation proves it. Misha Nonoo, Amour Vert, and Edun prove it, too. Sustainable clothing that stands up in style alongside today's top brands is a very feasible reality, and H&M's spring 2019 Conscious collection is here to prove that it can be done across all price ranges. Buying eco-friendly threads shouldn't cost you an arm or a leg, nor should it mean that you sacrifice trendiness. As H&M has proven with its past Conscious collections (this new one marks number eight), green is good in more ways than one.

The Swedish retailer's new collection comprises 48 ready-to-wear and accessories styles and is their most sustainable collection ever. "We’re thrilled to introduce new plant-based sustainable materials to create high-performing, beautiful and fashionable pieces that are statement-making yet so easy to wear,” H&M Creative Advisor Ann-Sofie Johansson said in a press release. Featuring Piñatex (pineapple leather), BLOOMFoam (a plant-based foam), and Orange Fiber (silk-like fabrics made from citrus juice byproducts), the collection really is naturally fueled — but you would never know it from the looks of it. From ruffled floral dresses and pieces gilded in silver to a sleek linen pantsuit and patterned swimwear, the offerings are truly top notch and feel extra special.

As reported by Refinery29, H&M's longterm sustainability goal is to use 100 percent recycled or otherwise sustainably sourced materials by 2030 for all of its clothing. That's huge for a fast-fashion retailer and would set the precedent for its competitors — by the looks of it, H&M is well on its way to achieving that goal.
