To raise awareness around World Recycle Week, the artist M.I.A. wrote the song ‘Rewear it’ exclusively for H&M. The campaign film is a music video, where M.I.A. is featured together with an eclectic cast of interesting influencers and inspirational people from all over the world. They range from music artists, dance artists, comedians and people with a passion for environmental and social sustainability issues. The basic thought is that people around the world, despite our differences, all have one main objective in common: the planet, and the film illustrates how people from across the world joins in a global fashion movement.
The talents in the film are for example:
