H&M to launch Morris & Co collection
Walker Greenbank PLC (AIM: WGB), the luxury interior furnishings
group, is pleased to announce the imminent launch by global fashion
brand H&M of a women's and men's apparel collection following a
licensing agreement with the Company's Morris & Co brand signed
earlier this year.
The collection, which will be available in stores worldwide and
online from 4 October 2018, is based on eight of William Morris's
iconic designs and includes coats, jackets, trousers, dresses,
blouses and other garments.
The collection is showcased in Vogue magazine at this link:

Pernilla Wohlfahrt, H&M's Design Director, said: "The Morris
& Co prints are some of the most recognised and loved around
the world, while William Morris is not only synonymous with the
Arts and Crafts movement, but also a strong advocate of beautiful
design. We're thrilled to be collaborating on a collection with
this iconic British brand and to be able to share these designs
with our customers."
John Sach, Walker Greenbank's Chief Executive, said: "Our
extensive archives of Morris & Co prints and printing blocks
are the inspiration for our own Morris & Co wallpapers and
fabrics. It is very exciting to collaborate with H&M to bring
some of these designs to a new customer base in high street fashion
whilst driving further momentum in our licensing activities. This
is by far our largest licensing agreement to date in the apparel
sector and underlines the inherent value of our design
archives."
