The best lines from the Post story about people going bananas for the Stella McCartney line at H&M:
- "Back off my dress, bitch!"Gothamist only wishes that Stella or whichever high fashion designer H&M selects next (Nicholas Ghesquiere? Roland Mouret? Alexander McQueen?) do a Crazy Eddie style commercial, ending with "...and the prices are INSANE!"
- "I couldn't believe it when that poor woman fell in the middle of the floor and nobody cared. People just stepped over her. It's crazy."
- One woman fell during the feeding frenzy, and shoppers just stepped over her. Another was crying. One petite lady stood on top of a chair so she could grab at a silk shirt that was too high, while throwing the rest of the batch down to her friends. A group of moms even brought a stroller along just to pile clothes in it.
There's a funny cameraphone picture of the scene at Papermag's blog. The NY Times on the Stella for H&M line. H&M says that some pieces will be available for online shopping on Sunday, November 13. And Gothamist must admit, we covet the Stella McCartney for adidas line, but can't bring ourselves to pay $300 for a running fleece, no matter how asymmetrically the zipper is placed.

I survived the mayhem. It was really crazy. I waited for 2 hours last night for them to unpack amd unload their last shipment at 51st and 5th. Hundreds and hundreds of women pushed and shoved to grab anything. The trick was to make some friends and help each other. I got some really cool stuff but of course none of it fits. Too bad. If anyone is interested you can email me :)
What surprises me is that people actually tried stuff on - was there a no-return policy?
You have 30 days to return with full money back with receipt. It was so ridiculous that people considered trying this stuff on because it just caused more chaos. As soon as the "body guard" like stocker came out with 2 items girls would dive to snatch them- they were desperate. I documented this experience because I don't think my mom would believe me if I tried to explain. At one point, I made my poor (sweet) husband come all the way uptown to help me.
So let me get this straight. You waited two hours for clothes. Then you bought clothes that didn't fit you.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense....
they will be worth something shortly.
isn't this story so 24 hours ago!?
went to h&m soho last night...not one shread of evidence that there ever was a stella fiasco that day... i'll go back next week and try on the stuff everyone returned and didn't try to sell on ebay..
Forget all the H&M shenanigans, there's a Crazy Eddie tribute site?! Woah! (insert comment here about it being "insaaaane").
i want the jacket with the stupid bow so bad but i refuse to pay a million dollars on ebay for it lol
