SUSTAINABLE STYLE: H&M is teaming with British Nigerian actor John Boyega for the launch of a sustainably developed men’s wear line.
The Swedish fast-fashion brand described the Golden Globe winner, best known for his role as Finn in the recent movies in the “Star Wars” franchise, as a good fit because of his advocacy for racial justice and his distinctive take on style.
“John Boyega is a brave leader of a generation that’s speaking up for change,” stated H&M’s head of men’s wear design Ross Lyndon. “H&M is proud to team up with John for Edition by John Boyega, a contemporary, more sustainable collection for men.”
“I’m excited to collaborate with H&M on a collection that aligns my passions with purpose,” Boyega said.
