H&M Australia has brought its collaboration collection with writer, performer and storyteller Yrsa Daley-Ward to its 36 stores across Australia. 

The loungewear collection features quotes from Daley-Ward's poetry such as ‘If you have to fold to fit in, it ain’t right’ or ‘There will always be your heart’, printed on selected pieces. 

Key pieces include the longline shorts with co-ordinating slogan sweatshirt, the oversized t-shirts and seamless crop-tops, and the drop-shoulder hoodie, all made with more sustainably-sourced fabrics such as organic cotton, and recycled polyamide. 

H&M head of womenswear design Maria Östblom said the partnership with Daley-Ward was a natural fir for the brand. 

"We were so inspired by Yrsa Daley-Ward’s strong and powerful poems, which so beautifully address self-worth and self-empowerment.

"H&M shares these ideals and it was a privilege to work together on a collection that champions such positive values," she said. 

The collection offers Aussie shoppers both oversized and form-fitting pieces in grey, light beige and green. 

Daley-Ward fronts the campaign for the collection, and said that she hopes the quotes inspire the wearers to feel empowered.

"It has been wonderful working with H&M on this sustainably-sourced collection.

"My hope is that this collection comforts, empowers and moves those who wear it, that they wear the words close to their hearts.

"We need to be empowered to have the strength and confidence to move through the world and to achieve our dreams.

"You are your life’s work," she said.

The collection is available now in-store and online and retails from $14.99.
