The H&M Studio Spring/Summer collection is using more sustainable materials. These items are now available at the H&M Shinjuku stores and the official H&M online store. The model for the collection is Yurina Hirate, an artist, actress, and former center of idol group Keyakizaka46. 

H&M Studio is a limited-edition collection made by the H&M design team. Announced twice a year, it showcases popular seasonal themes and trends. All items in this new collection are made from sustainable materials, such as leather made from grape skins, stems, and seeds, and other recycled materials.

Yurina Hirate has become incredibly popular with young women and is known for her in-your-face style. She has become a beacon for women who want to become more confident and who love to experiment with fashion. The photos were taken at Hoshinoya Tokyo, which features hip eateries, hot springs, and five-star accommodations.
