Is the queuing worth it? I don't think so...but maybe you do!? Judging by previous high street and designer collaboration launches, not to mention the above pictures from the Tokyo launch, the queue for the much talked about Comme des Garcon collection for H&M will be knee tremblingly long along Oxford Street on November 13th. What frightens me more is that the fight to the best items will be a hard one...the chances of an elbow to the face or a kick to the shin will be extremely high (there will be some die hard, blood thirsty collectors amongst the hungry hoards). This is where I need one plucky volunteer. If you haven't noticed already, I am quite a lazy individual and as I'm being honest with you all, somewhat indifferent to the Comme des Garcon collection for H&M (that said, I would still like to get my hands on a few of the pieces (namely the polka dot items).
So I am looking for plucky volunteers who are eager to stand in line for me. To save time, I've started an imaginary conversation with you...
Me: Who would like to stand in line for me?
You: What's in it for me? I mean the wait will be long and knowing London it will certainly be raining...
Me: You want a reward other than my admiration and appreciation?
You: Um...Yes...
Me: OK...how about a Kinder Egg?
The ball, or rather the Kinder Egg is in your court. Upon reading this post EJ has suggested two smarter options but I find them just too sneaky but for those interest in the cunning workings of her mind, they were:
1) call H&M and see where else (other than the flagship store) the collection will be available and therefore bypass the crowds
2) Use Susie's power and influence to see if she can locate the polka dot pieces for me without going near a physical store.
