3. Second to oil, fashion is the most polluting industry in the
world. This campaign aims to shed light on this issue, and
through a designer collaboration, show that sustainablility
can be fashionable. Victoria Beckham will collaborate
with H&M’s Conscious Collection, and create a range
made from post-consumer textiles and organic materials.
concept overview
4. market research
For my final campaign in university I created a campaign behind a H&M x Victoria Beckham Conscious Collection designer collaboration. The idea arose from indepth research into
sustainability, and that second to oil, fashion is the most polluting industry in the world. I developed the idea through primary and secondary research. I looked into future trends around
the market, consumers and retail.

5. product design & editorial photoshoot
I researched future fashion trends and designed CAD Flats of the products within the range. These devloped from print and womenswear trends, and also, general research into
Victoria Beckhams previous ranges. I gathered inspiration for an editorial photoshoot and organised this in a studio with a photographer, hair & make up artist. I directed and styled
this shoot.

6. campaign planning
Having objectives for a promotional campaign is crucial in order to measure the success rate. I also created a campaign timeline and media plan.
- To make people aware and create interest in the collection
- To make people aware of the impact the textile industry has on the environment
- To increase brand awareness and enhance brand equity
- To provide credibility to an already existing business model and process
- To change the negative perception some people have of H&M with regards to sustainability
- To change the perception that sustainable fashion is boring and unwearable
- To gain positive coverage from the media
- To reach an optimised number of potential purchasers

VICTORIA BECKHAM MEETS H&M
OCTOBER 29, 2017 / LONDON
H&M and Victoria Beckham invites you to an
exclusive viewing to celebrate the launch of the
Victoria Beckham x H&M Conscious CollectionThursday 20th October 2017
6pm arrival, 7pm show start
36 Dover Street, London W1S 4NHStrictly Invitation Only
Imagine my surprise when I received an invitation for the runway show of Victoria Beckham’s newest collaboration with
H&M. Not only is Victoria a woman I have long admired, but also H&M never fail to host an amazing night! The show was
nothing short of perfection, pattern mixing, classic cuts and Victoria Beckham’s style on everything. If you guys follow me on
Instagram, no doubt you will have seen some exclusive snaps of the night! Fashion for me, has never been about what is best for
the environment, but how naive was I. I couldn’t recommend enough to visit the exhibition atVictoria Beckham’s Dover Street
store, to not only view the collection before the launch, but also to gain an insight into how each garment has been made. I for
one will definitely question where products have been made before purhcasing in the near future! It is so important for the

10. social media
I created a social media marketing plan for this campaign. This included Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Periscope and Pinterest. Image and Video content on average
receives a 63% boost in engagement. The website also included a homepage takeover for the collection on both H&M and Victoria Beckham’s own site.

11. press release
Press releases and media packs were created to be sent to members of the press and bloggers. Research shows that tangible press packs have an engagement rate 74% higher than
digital kits. Due to the sustainability factor of this collection, the press pack is made from 100% recycled materials. Magazine advertisements included a digital interactive VR feature to
embrace digtial trends. 65% of the target market of this collection engaged more to interactive content over static image and text.
12. in-store
Visual merchandising instore reflects Victoria Beckham’s retail space. 7 in 10 consumers have said they look at visual merchandising for inspiration for an outfit, with 9 in 10 claiming
they have previously bought an item which they would not have necessarily if it had not been displayed as a complete look. Bodymetric scanners are used to embrace future retail
trends, with shoppers being able to virtually try on garments linking to the app.
13. window display
In the age of radical transparency, brands are discovering that achieving financial success today depends on delivering accountability along with goods and services. The accountability
campaign provides credibility to the already existing H&M value chain, through the window display. This is changed 3 weeks prior to the launch, with experimentation in the form of
interactivity with consumers. The display breaks up the value chain into stages. With each stage, there is a TV screen with a 30 second video explaining about the sustainable aspect of
that step in the process. The entire display shows the garment being made through the stages.
