With the H2Ø Programme, Springfield is launching a very special collection of jeans for Man and Woman with different fits and a wide range of finishes. The collection will be available in its stores this season, under a “waterfriend” concept which allows large water savings in manufacturing processes.

The process consists in reducing washing stages through application of various techniques, such as the ozone bath, and a number of manually applied treatments to give jeans the worn-out look that is so popular. Finally, the drying process takes place on special mannequins for a three-dimensional look.

All jeans in the H2Ø collection carry a label explaining the sustainability targets of their production process, so that consumers can understand the reason for its name and the call to action that Springfield is making for consumption that is more respectful towards the environment. To mark the occasion of this launch, Springfield invited six young Spanish and foreign illustrators to interpret the concept “Every drop counts”. These artists created illustrations for a limited, exclusive collection of t-shirts through which Springfield can convey this message.

In an original way, and making use of artistic expression for its discourse, Springfield employs t-shirts as the communication support for this campaign. The collection includes 3 t-shirts for Man and 3 for Woman, and will be available in several countries, in more than 100 Springfield stores, and on spf.com in September. The young urban artists who collaborated with Springfield to create this new H2Ø t-shirt line have very different careers.
