CAMPAIGN
NEW ENERGY / 26
AUTUMN / WINTER 2026
ART DIRECTION
A striking full-body female fashion model dominates the composition, positioned slightly right of centre against a warm ivory studio background.
She is captured mid-stride from a subtly low camera angle, creating a confident, elongated silhouette.
Dark brown shoulder-length hair moves naturally across her face as though caught by a soft studio wind. Neutral confident expression, minimal natural makeup, understated gold hoop earrings.
WARDROBE
Oversized vivid H&M-red wool coat with broad relaxed shoulders, open front and dramatic flowing movement.
Underneath: fitted clean white tank top tucked into charcoal-black wide-leg tailored trousers with a black leather belt.
Polished pointed black leather shoes.
The red coat sweeps diagonally behind the model and visually connects with the graphic red field across the lower-left composition.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Premium European fashion editorial photography.
Slightly low-angle full-body framing.
Hard but refined directional studio lighting.
Natural skin texture.
Crisp textile detail.
Controlled shadows.
Subtle analogue fashion-film grain.
Warm ivory background.
Sharp subject with realistic garment movement.
GRAPHIC COMPOSITION
Warm ivory canvas with a strong vertical H&M-red strip running along the entire left edge.
Large H&M logo in red at the upper-left.
Directly underneath:
“AUTUMN / WINTER 2026”
“NEW COLLECTION”
Along the red vertical strip, rotated 90 degrees:
“MOVE CHANGE 2026”
Upper-right:
“WOMEN”
“LOOK 01”
with “01” highlighted in red.
Fine black horizontal rules travel across the middle of the poster, intersecting visually with the model.
Small outlined rectangular season marker on the right:
“26”
“AW”
A thin horizontal rule near the model’s coat carries tiny repeated typography:
“MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE”
HERO TYPOGRAPHY
The lower half is dominated by enormous condensed black sans-serif typography:
“NEW”
above
“ENERGY”
ENERGY must be extremely oversized, bold, tightly spaced and partially cropped by the left, right and bottom boundaries.
The model overlaps and interrupts portions of the typography, producing sophisticated editorial depth between photograph and graphic design.
A saturated red geometric field rises diagonally from the lower-left behind the giant black typography and model.
