Vanessa Paradis is the new face of H&M

The actress and singer wear pieces as a ruffle-edged yellow sundress, as well as an embellished zip-up utility jacket worn with botanical print trousers. The pieces are part of a collection full of optimism for spring, with romantic styles. Vanessa Paradis says, “I like being part of something like the Conscious collection at H&M. I try my best to shop consciously, and vintage is very much part of my wardrobe. I love the style and it works in an eco-friendly way because I like to use and reuse old clothes.”

Coinciding with the campaign will be the launch of a Conscious garment collecting action at H&M. Customers will be able to bring any unwanted garments from any label to selected stores, and in return for each bag receive an H&M voucher.

In the "Future Wedding Vision"-category won Katharina Zopf with her mullet-mirror-creation. On the 2nd place: Theresa Prammer with a pleats gown.

Schirmerite of the jury, the British ambassador Susan le Jeune d’Allegeershecque: "I think, that the most important thing is, that the bride feels comfortable in her wedding dress and that it reflex her personality. I personally likes something that's quite simple."

Well I loved the mullet dress, but I also liked the futuristic one with the sweet shorts, the crinoline and the purple corsage:
