Something new: designer wedding collections go budget

The new H&M Conscious Exclusive collection debuting this month includes an array of whimsical wedding dresses made from sustainable materials. With a launch that coincided with the opening of the Parisian exhibition “Fashion Forward – 300 Years of Fashion,” the H&M Conscious Exclusive aims to create haute couture aesthetics with sustainable fabrics such as organic silk, hemp and recycled linen. Comprising lace gowns, prom dresses and sharp, modern coordinated separates, the fashion-forward collection's reasonable pricing means that brides-to-be can pick out a dress from $204.

H&M launches new sustainable collection inspired by Paris museum

H&M is teaming up with Paris's Musée des Arts Décoratifs on its new “Conscious Exclusive 2016” fashion collection. Inspired by the archives of the museum, the sustainable collection features “modern red carpet pieces infused with tactile charm, a nostalgic aesthetic and a historical legacy.” The design team worked with new innovative materials such as beads and rhinestones made from recycled glass and Denimite, a material made from recycled worn-out denim. The collection will launch on April 7, 2016, to coincide with the opening of the exhibition “Fashion Forward – Three Centuries of Fashion”.
