will everyone queue tomorrow???

I'm seriously considering it because there are some nice pieces but I don't know if I want to put up with the craziness that will probably occur. I might go though because I wasn't able to get anything from the Viktor & Rolf for H&M line; by the time I got down to H&M, there wasn't much of anything left.

I went to the Grazia event at the H&M in Kensignton last night, where they offered 20% off everything (except for M's collection - which suited me fine). The only thing I bought from her collection was the black turban! I did not think anything was all that great to be honest. And I bought a couple of things made by H&M, it was a cool night because they had champagne, canapes and you got a goody bag with a free belt. Super!

i bought the catsuit online, it seems to be sold out now.

online store didn't have the turban

Can anyone in NYC report back? Are there lines? Is everything gone? I'm going to check out the 18th + 5th store at lunch if there's still anything left...

i bought the white short-sleeved silk blouse, and two scarves (the pink one, and blk/white one). everything else looked just too much H&M to me, and the quality didn't seem too good either.....also, i didn't like the cut and shapes of the dresses

overall, it was just the same usual madness at h&m, girls fighting for clothes, long queues.......

I didn't buy anything. I liked the short-sleeved silk blouses though, but I already have something similar. The dresses which I were interested in didn't look that good in reality, so I didn't even try them on.

i am not a fan of Madonna in the first place and i don't like her style and there is no way i'll buy anything remotely connected to the woman who once wore cone-shaped bras

also i do not understand why H&M is collaborating with a singer. having a line with V&R is acceptable, they're designers!

sorry, my laptop's acting up today

went to the local h&m today. still a lot of stuff left at 5pm. mostly its very "mature" looking.. i did like this one black dress that has knots (sort of open back) and the white silk puffy sleeve shirt..might get those tomorrow. didnt see any shoes or the wide belts or the hat. i was looking for those too.

i tried on the cat suit and it fit my body suprisingly well. it seemed a bit too much "divaish" for me though and after i saw this 40 year old lady with no style buying it on i was like no no for that.

all the garments i tried on fit my body type so nicely (im a bit pear shapish). i guess it was the cut and the fit of the clothes.

the tapered pants run really small so size up. they are low waist which im a bit dissapointed about. but other than that theyre nice.

 

[lucy92]

miss60, thanks for your report. im also afraid of trying on the catsuit...that's good that it at least fit you.

did you end up buying anything at all?

 

[miss6o]

not yet. i think i will get something tomorrow. either the dress of the shirt..maybe they will stock up with something else too, i hope.

oh and i forgot to add something about the trench. i think 80 euros is a bit to much for something like that. they had trenches on stellas and v&r collection. this one is really light material and is ok but not worth the 80 e.

the bags are also a bit better quality than usual h&m bags..the sun glasses, i dunno.. i wouldnt get those. but it seems like this collection they have imprved on the material selections compared to v&r which was just horrible.

I was surprised to see part of this collection stocked in my local H&M. I had a look through many of the pieces but nothing really appealed to me. There was plenty of stock left and I got the feeling it wasnt as successful or busy as the store managers expected. I noticed more staff in store just milling about looking bored.

From the pieces I saw I dont think this collection is aimed at someone of my age [I'm 21] late 20 to mid 30's is probably the target audience. not a bad collection but nothing really grabbed me personally.

 

[Lily530]

I was able to buy everything I wanted.... the white dress she wore to the London launch....I bought it in all three colours, white, black & taupe/champagne. I also bought the white puff sleeve blouse.

 

[legaldiva]

I also went today the first chance I got. There was a lot of stuff, but not the sequin dress I wanted.

Maybe our local H&M hasn't gotten it yet ... or worse: isn't getting it?

I thought about trying the beige dress on, but didn't because like someone else said: the draping looked cheap.

 

[abbyroad]

My turn They had a lot of stuff left at 18th + 5th, but none of the trench in small sizes (although I didn't look at the leather ones). I bought the cream patent belt, but I'm not sure if it will fit. May have to exchange for another size. Was disappointed that they didn't have any bags except small clutches. Other than that, most of the rest of the stuff looked kind of cheapy to me. I may keep looking for the trench, but I'm a little less excited after seeing it in person...
