Inspired by "70s hippie chic flower-power, chlorophyll-green gardens, and sun drenched landscapes" H&M's Garden collection is everything you would expect in Spring 2010. Beautifully crafted flower print airy dresses. Organic frilly flowing tops and my favorite of the collection, pure red structured bolero jacket and banded mini dress with flowered detail at the lower half, featured in a soft nude and the pure red which seems to be how the line is identified. The most interesting detail about the line is that sustainable materials or recycled PET bottles or textile waste were used, in the production. What a way to go green gorgeous! Below are my most favorite pieces of the collection and more detail about the elements used...
