H&M has announced plans to utilize digital clones of models in their advertising and social media campaigns, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of traditional photoshoots.

The move is part of a broader trend in the fashion industry towards sustainability, where companies are exploring digital solutions to minimize their carbon footprint. These digital models will appear in online ads, social media posts, and possibly virtual reality environments, offering a new way to showcase clothing and accessories. This approach not only helps in reducing travel-related emissions but also allows for greater flexibility in how and where products can be displayed.
