H&M has introduced its new brand concept, Innovation Stories, which debuts multiple collection launches throughout 2021. Each drop aims to celebrate ’forward-thinking sustainability processes’, as the Swedish retail chain explains. The first launch is "Science Story" and is available in selected H&M stores and at hm.com since 1 April.
Science Story is meant to ‘pay tribute to the brilliant minds behind fabrications of the future’, it says in H&M’s press release. The collection introduces new materials such as EVO by Fulgar, a bio-based yarn derived from castor oil, and Desserto, which is a plant-based alternative to leather, produced from cactus plants.

Science Story is a homage to the years of research and experiments behind these incredible materials," says Ella Soccorsi, Concept Designer at H&M.
