“On évolue tous sous le même soleil.” At a time when we are all looking to connect with one another, the creative ecosystem of Solar Club and its two female founders have inspired an entire collection for H&M MOVE and H&M HOME, available on June 4 on hm.com. A luminous line at the crossroads of activewear and lifestyle, designed to celebrate the collective from morning to night and shot in the Calanques marseillaises. Plot twist: we’ve already planned to pack every single piece in our suitcase for our next vacation…
From sunrise to sunset
Always on the lookout for tomorrow's talents, the Stockholm-based H&M creative team spotted Anne-Laure Faou and Alice Gerault, the founders of Solar Club, from afar. In Paris, these women, who host large dinners for creatives, make it their mission to “faire du bien, partager le beau, rendre service, apporter de la joie”. The ultimate proof that these girls are the queens of networking: this is the very first time that the H&M MOVE and H&M HOME teams have collaborated together to create a collection!
The idea? To design a “from sunrise to sunset” capsule, where performance gives way to collective joy, from morning meditation sessions to swims in the sea and large evening banquets by the water. For Marie Fredros, Head of Design at H&M MOVE, this collaboration felt like an obvious choice: “Everything was simple in the development of this collection. Their concept alone is inspiring, and the girls immediately understood where we wanted to go together”.
Sun-bleached colors, hand-written mantras by Alice, and logos placed at the solar plexus: every piece has been meticulously designed to celebrate solar energy. Among our favorites: the sublime chocolate-plum swimsuit (€37.99), the hoodie with a built-in inflatable cushion in the hood for meditating with your feet in the water (€49.99), the butter-yellow biker shorts (€29.99), the sun-print t-shirt in a beautiful cotton (€29.99), and the multi-pocket DryMove™ (quick-dry) running jacket (€49.99).
L’énergie du collectif
We instantly fell in love with the H&M HOME collection, which extends this spirit of sharing and the pleasure of coming together. To add to your wishlist: the brilliant outdoor mattress in water-repellent cotton canvas to sling over your shoulder (€44.99), the engraved stainless steel serving dish for beautiful salads to share (€24.99), cotton placetmats with a pocket for cutlery, perfect for a picnic (€14.99), a scented candle that smells like holidays, charming stoneware dessert plates (€7.99), and embroidered cotton coasters (€9.99). Everything you need to set the most beautiful summer tables!
The entire H&M MOVE and H&M HOME x Solar Club collection can be found starting June 4 on hm.com
