H&M celebrated the launch of the Fashion Loves Art collaboration with renowned artist Alex Katz on Wednesday, November 30, at the Miami Beach Edition hotel.

An intimate dinner honoring Katz was hosted by co-founder & co-editor-in-chief of Paper magazine Kim Hastreiter, supermodel Karolina Kurkova, gallerists Thaddaeus Ropac and Gavin Brown, and artist Hope Atherton. The dinner was followed by an after party for over 350 VIP guests of the art and fashion world and featured a special performance by Nelly Furtado. Notable attendees included Heron Preston, RJ King, Chloe Wise, and London Zhiloh, among others.

“The partnership with H&M surpassed my expectations,” said Katz. “It is exciting for me to work with H&M to make my art more accessible to more people.”

H&M’s Fashion Loves Art collaboration features a full collection for ladies and men’s including accessories and home décor that utilize some of Katz’s most iconic works as inspiration. As part of H&M’s efforts for a sustainable fashion future, the majority of the collection is made from sustainable materials like Tencel and organic cotton.

The collection is now available exclusively in the U.S. at select Miami Stores in Aventura and Lincoln Road as well as online at hm.com.
