Teehee, I wanted to look the part when running for the latest designer collaborating collection of H&M with Comme des Garcons. I actually like the designer of this year: I skipped last year, because Cavalli is not so much my style.
Comme des Garcons clothes are designed by the avantgardic Kei Kawakubo, and I love the clean lines and artsy impression his high end collection makes, so I had to que up for the H&M version as well.
Yeehaa, I actually managed to bring home a lovely loot in my size...
The 'hunt' itself was a lot more organised than previous years (I can only speak for the Stella Mc. Carney time, as I ordered Victor and Rolf online, and skipped the rest). Before opening, the queing ladies and gays (sorry straight guys if I insulted you) got a flyer with the game rules...
Ha ha, it is in Dutch. Well, let me recap: Hi Fashionistas, we are really delighted to see you here today. Please do not run to your goodies. Do not trade or sell in the store itself; do not make photos or videos in the store (privacy reasons); garments should only be returned within 7 days.
And, yup...people did not run (how obedient), which had to do with the fact that people were only allowed to go in a few at a time. Such delight, no fighting and battling for your size (and I even brought my chain bag for knocking down other shoppers---just kidding).
My camera does not photograph so good at night, even with flash, so sorry for the dogdy pictures. I have bough the trench in black, 2 blouses and the dress with the backless triangle. I also had a blazer, but I returned it the same day...
I sniffed the perfume as well. However, there was a really dominating masculine note in it...I cannot pin it down...Even though I enjoy unisex scents every now and then, this was a bit too 'muscly' for me...I felt a bit Samantha Ronson for a while, LOL.
Anyway, what are your weirdest shopping experiences? And how far would you go for that perfect item you covet?
