H&M will release "BlackEyePatch x H&M," a collaboration with street brand BlackEyePatch, which has been garnering attention both domestically and internationally, for its first-ever Japan-exclusive print collection using its menswear line, Blank Staples. Actor and model Shuhei Nomura, and hip-hop artists Awich and WILYWNKA serve as campaign models, and the collection will be available on the official online store (hm.com) and in select stores nationwide from March 4th.

About the Collection
The "BlackEyePatch x H&M" collection is H&M's first-ever Japan-exclusive print collection, featuring collaboration items with BlackEyePatch, a brand at the forefront of street culture. Blank Staples was launched last year as a line that serves as a blank canvas for collaborations, and its items, made from heavyweight cotton with a dry feel, focus on details that are important in streetwear, such as the silhouette created by dropped shoulders, the proportions of sweatpants, and the width of the ribbing at the neckline.

【About Blank Staples】

Sustainable Material
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton uses less energy and water to produce than conventional cotton. What's more, it is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and does not contain genetically modified seeds (GMOs). This improves soil quality, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases biodiversity, and improves working conditions for cotton farmers.

Recycled Cotton
Recycled cotton is made by cutting old clothing and fabric scraps down to the fiber level, blending them into new yarn, and weaving them into new fabric. Recycled cotton prevents old clothing and fabric scraps from ending up in landfills and reduces the use of natural resources.

BCI Cotton (Better Cotton Initiative)
BCI cotton is cotton certified by BCI (Better Cotton Initiative), a non-profit organization that trains cotton farmers on water efficiency, protecting wildlife, and reducing the use of harmful chemicals, and protects workers' rights. Because BCI cotton is sometimes mixed with conventional cotton, it does not carry a BCI certification tag.
