Stella McCartney for H&M – launch today!

I went (in Luxembourg) this morning. Not many teen (mostly stay at home
moms and working women. The main store had about 24 women including me
waiting outside for it to open. Once in, I quickly grabbed all the
items I preselected on the website and went into the dressing room.
I bought the oversized trench and zip–up sweater, a long sleeve
t–shirt
and a short sleeved one and the sage colored silk dress.
By the time I left, the store was a zoo.

Lucky shopper! H&M finally has a store in San Francisco but by the time I get there
before Christmas, everything will be gone. There was a great article about the
store in the Sunday paper. It also mentioned that Luella Bartley has signed to do a
line for Target. It is great to see designers branching out to less expensive
lines, a win/win situation for the designer and the shopper.

TIA

By the time you get there before Christmas?? Try, by the time you get
there on the afternoon of the launch! Everything was gone today
already!
That's what happened in Boston at the Downtown Crossing store anyway –
they had a whole section of the store literally cleaned out in two
hours. The only things left right now are chain belts, Stella
t–shirts, black bikinis and gray bikinis. I managed to snatch the last
of the tux jackets. The staff at the store insisted they wouldn't be
getting more of anything. I'm not sure I believe them, given that they
hyped the Lagerfeld line in a similar way and yet kept bringing out
more merchandise for months afterwards.
A consoling thought is that Boston does seem to have a
fashion–conscious population, despite appearances...

i saw the collection online and wasn't too keen on anything, really. I
am really wanting a pair of skinny jeans but didn't like how hers are
flared and then tied at the ankle... the gem crusted camisole did look
nice.

I hate this collection! Nothing interesting at all. It's still on the
racks in Philly at 16 & Chestnut. It's not the entire collection; more
still might be delivered. The Lagerfield collection also went almost
untouched at the same location.

Quite! They are advertising the openings on the radio and promising
tees to
the first 200 shoppers IIRC. I can only imagine what it will be like
inside
the store. I'm guessing it will eventually be called "store on the
floor".
The H&M's I've been to in other locations are disasters inside. They
have
staked out the right locations: half block from the Post St Gap store
and
1.5 blocks from the Gap and Forever 21at the cable car turnaround.
