Erling Persson Life story
Erling Persson was the founder of H&M. He got the idea following a post-World War II trip to the United States: He was impressed by the country's efficient, high-volume stores. He established the company in Västerås, Sweden, in 1947 selling women's clothing, calling it Hennes, Swedish for "hers."
