H&M goes eco

After a wave of bad publicity from accusations of destroying unsold clothing, H&M hopes to gain some favor with its eco-friendly Garden Collection, being launched Sunday. A glance at the look book shows the fully sustainable collection to be appropriately colorful and lush. Detailed with ultra-feminine embroidery and rosettes, the '70s-inspired line of baby doll dresses and peasant blouses is truly garden party-ready. And made of organic cotton and linen, recycled polyester and tencel (a silky, renewable material), it's Earth-friendly, too.
