“Fashion is so fast,” Butrym shared in an interview with Vogue. “I did things a little differently with H&M. Not in terms of the clothes, but my day-to-day practice. I thought of my archive and I wondered what my friends and clients love the most, what they dream of, what they keep in the wardrobe,” she added.
