ADDING MULTIMEDIA H&M Releases World Recycle Week 2016 Campaign Song and Video ‘Rewear It’ Featuring Artist M.I.A.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#MIA—M.I.A. is the star of H&M’s global initiative, World Recycle Week,
featuring a video inspiring customers to recycle their unwanted clothes.
With her personal style, interest for sustainability and passion for the
environment, M.I.A. personifies the conscious consumer with a social
awareness.

Since the launch of the Garment Collecting initiative in 2013, H&M’s
goal has been to close the loop in fashion, recycling unwanted garments
to create reusable textile fibers for new products. During the campaign
period, April 18-24, H&M aims to collect 1,000 tons of unwanted or worn
out garments from customers worldwide in its more than 3,600 stores.
U.S. customers who participate in recycling will receive a 30% off
coupon during the World Recycle Week period.

To raise awareness M.I.A. wrote the song ‘Rewear it’ exclusively for H&M
and the World Recycle Week campaign. H&M has worked closely with
choreographer Aaron Sillis to interpret M.I.A.’s music and lyrics into
dance moves for the campaign’s video.

“World Recycle Week is about embracing important environmental issues
such as the landfills, and highlighting a global movement.” says
M.I.A.

The video features M.I.A. together with an eclectic cast of influencers
and inspirational people from all over the world, including actress Yao
Chen and model, Moffy. Also included is a range of talent from music
artists, dancers, comedians and people with a passion for environmental
and social sustainability issues, all with a strong personal style and
attitude. The video uses dance as the connection between a diverse
community of people to highlight the importance of garment collecting
and recycling. The full campaign video will be featured at hm.com
on April 11, 2016.

This is one of the most extensive environmental projects that H&M has
undertaken. Join H&M and M.I.A. in a global fashion movement for the
planet!
