Terminology and market-specific choices verified against Luxembourg sources throughout this test (see notes on lines 5, 6, 8, 9); general linguistic and stylistic judgments apply standard French usage.

"S/S 2025" expanded to "printemps-été 2025" (not abbreviated "P/E") — confirmed by ELLE.lu (Luxembourg edition), which uses this full form rather than trade-press shorthand, supporting a general-audience register over industry jargon.

"Hands the stage to" rendered as "cède la scène à" — established figurative use in French (cf. Larousse, Académie française: "scène politique/médiatique").

"Creative icons" kept as "icônes de la création" rather than the more expected "de la mode" — preserving the brand's deliberate lexical choice.

Rhythmic echo "them... them" rendered as "d'elles... ce qu'elles sont" rather than a literal repetition, which would read awkwardly in French.

"Sunglasses" rendered as "lunettes de soleil", not "solaires" — verified against active Luxembourg fashion e-commerce sites and adverts, where "solaires" alone does not appear.

"Co-ord" rendered as "ensemble", not "un coordonné" as a standalone noun — the latter is Québécois/OQLF usage, not attested in the LU/European market.

"Is waiting for" (present) rendered as "attendait" (imperfect) — a deliberate adaptation reflecting an established French marketing convention that creates a resolution effect ("the piece you were waiting for [is now here]"), cf. NAF NAF, RFM. ALT: "attend" (present), closer to the literal verbal aspect of the English source, if strict fidelity is preferred over the rhetorical effect.

"Jeans" kept plural (referring to the range, not a single pair) — confirmed against H&M's own French category naming, which uses the same distinction. "Total look denim" reflects a construction genuinely in use on Luxembourg retail sites, not a literal rendering of "denim-on-denim".

"Wear your smile" rendered as "Affichez votre sourire", not a literal "Portez" — "wear a smile" is an established English idiom, but "porter un sourire" is not attested as natural French usage; forcing the parallel would read as a calque rather than preserve an intended pun.

"Lets your true self shine" rendered as "révèle votre vraie personnalité" rather than a more literal "laisse rayonner" — "shine" reads as a standard English expressive idiom here, with no supporting wordplay elsewhere in the copy, so a lighter, more standard French verb better matches the intended register.

Lowercase "affirmez" after "Nouveauté :" — French typographic convention keeps lowercase after a colon in this construction, unlike the English editorial capital after "New:".

"Key events" rendered as "événements", not "dates" (corrected) — an event and a date are not equivalent; the initial draft narrowed the meaning of the source, which has been restored.

Inclusive writing ("un·e allié·e") applied for LGBTQIA+ content in professional communication — confirmed as standard practice in this context by IMS Luxembourg, an organization supporting Luxembourg businesses on workplace inclusion.

"Brassière" preferred over "soutien-gorge de sport" — confirmed on two independent Luxembourg fashion e-commerce sites, where both terms coexist but "brassière" is the more natural fit for this collection's younger, dynamic register. ALT: "soutien-gorge de sport".

"Hotpants" kept, following H&M's own established naming for this item — though a comparable Luxembourg activewear site names the equivalent product "short", so this is a brand-consistency choice rather than a confirmed market-wide term.

"Move freely" rendered as "en toute liberté" — the fuller idiomatic construction attested in French sport/activewear marketing, preferred over a flatter single-adverb rendering.

"Au studio de yoga ou de pilates" (definite article, no possessive) reflects the source's generic "the studio". ALT: "dans votre studio", personalizing with a possessive, a common French advertising convention.

"Women's" repositioned to open the list ("Pour femme, combinaisons...") rather than trail at the end, restoring its scoping function — without adding punctuation absent from the source.

"Full Price" and "OMNI" kept in English — standard, widely used retail industry jargon in internal communications, even in French-language corporate contexts.

"Décarbonation" used alongside "décarbonisation" — both terms are genuinely employed by the Luxembourg government itself (gouvernement.lu, PNEC 2021-2030 and related climate communications); "décarbonation" is retained here as the more concise, increasingly standard form, not as the sole correct option. ALT: "décarbonisation", equally valid and equally attested in Luxembourg official communications.

Verb tense shifted to passé composé ("nous avons fait état... en accélérant... et en augmentant...") to match the aspect of the source's "reported... advancing", rather than a present-tense rendering.

"Développement durable" / "durabilité" and "le groupe [Brand]" / "[Brand] Group": both pairs are genuinely interchangeable in real French coverage of H&M's own sustainability reporting. ALT noted for each.
