>> Apparently that's what it was yesterday at H&Ms 'round the world. As one shopper told Gawker:
"One mad shopper pulled an empty metal rod and started hitting a display which had sweaters that were out of arms reach. Not even the mannequins were safe — people tore the samples from them."
Aww jeez. I'm not even close to an H&M right now, but I don't know that I would have even gone if I was. No need to scratch and bite for a skirt. Besides, the collection is already popping up on ebay.

I was at the Oxford Circus store, and it was absolute mayhem. People lost all sense of composure and decency, and each time the store was to be restocked, it seemed as if they were hungry people clawing their way towards the food rations being dropped from helicopters... A mean girl actually took a shirt I had been holding that was falling off the hanger. I noticed when her friends admonished her for taking it, considering she had already bought the same shirt, and she indignantly replied that it was going to be a collectors' item. I was in such a daze from the shock that I couldn't reply in my usual feisty manner -- My first experience of shopping trauma. Many people were pouting and whimpering, and some even CRIED because they couldn't get through the crowd to even look at the clothing.With a little help from a cool girl I met, I was able to get my hands on a few pieces in my size but nothing from my wish list. The oversize trench does not have the puff hem -- it is just styled to look that way in the pictures. It is really dowdy looking too. A lot of the items looked too BLING in my opinion, and I was surprised Stella agreed to put her name on a lot of the pieces.

Yes, that's the problem with supply and demand, unfortunately. But I agree -- there's no way I'm paying $80 for a t-shirt. I just thought ebay might be helpful to those who really really wanted one of the pieces, and are willing to pay that kind of price.
Sur ,but they are selling at 3 times the H&M price !
I was thinking especially of the cool graphic shirts now around 80 bucksstarting from 25!
