H&M Releases an Apparel Collection Inspired by 'The White Lotus'

— February 13, 2025 — Fashion
H&M and 'The White Lotus' are releasing a new collection inspired by the luxurious tropical aesthetics of the iconic show. Designed in collaboration with the show’s Emmy-nominated costume designer, Alex Bovaird, the collection reflects the luxury and jet-setting style of the upcoming third season, set in Thailand. The line debuts on February 20, following the season premiere on February 16.

“This collection is inspired by the costume design of ‘The White Lotus’ in Thailand — we distilled the essence of the characters from my mood boards, a collage of influences from the lush jungle and the colors of Thailand to a sense of luxury and style that harkens back to a time when everyone dressed up for their travels,” said Bovaird.
