On October 2nd, H&M will launch an eco conscious denim collection aptly named the Conscious Denim Collection. In a first for H&M, the washes used on its denim have been graded to assess their environmental impact, including energy and water use. The collection includes pieces for women, men and children, and will be available worldwide. But most importantly, this is some stylish denim. I particularly enjoy the quilted shirt jacket and the zanerobe-inspired pants. Extra points to any man who can fit into and rock the women’s denim flight suit. Now that’s fashion cojones.
Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
