First in line – love it! I think it’s almost a novelty of being able to basically have a piece of what would otherwise be inaccessible. Let me know what you have for sale, I want a look see ;) I’m definitely coveting the leather one-shoulder dress, hotness!

How many pieces in total were there, and how did you manage to carry them all lol!

Might this also be a tactic to up the shoes at H&M? I don’t find that their footwear gets a lot of attention typically

I picked up every accessory in the line (shoes, jewelery, handbags: minus 1 pair of shoes and 1 handbag) and most of the womens garments.

If I put the effort in to being 1st in line, I’m going to make sure I get (almost) every piece. My plan with them? Keep a few and sell a few :) because you’re right some pieces are just not my style…BUT I know there are people out there who want their hands on A Jimmy Choo limited edition H&M piece.

I just saw the first media piece of me..nooooo :( no sleeping doesn’t exactly give you the nicest glow. hahaha so I tried to be as BORING, short, and calm as I could in interviews so that they wouldn’t use my footage…but obviously, I understand that people want to know what time the #1 in line started lining up and etc.

It’s funny because many didn’t know about past H&M collabs.
Probably a combination of marketing efforts and the level of “mainstream-ity” of the designer label.

Hey Carolyn – thanks so much for sharing your experience, really valuable to hear it first hand from someone who was in the trenches ;) I can’t wait to see what you picked up!

I think this collab was a huge promo opp – the amount of signage and branding is unbelievable.

And that’s really amazing to hear H&M staff actually taking the time to line up. Sucks a little bit that they don’t get preferential treatment though
