Roberto Cavalli at H&M Released Today!

For those those that forgot, the Roberto Cavalli at H&M collection launched today! I was going to check out the chaos but decided not to, I’m at the office waiting for peeps to update me! Believe it or not I never got in line for any of the H&M collabs, I always waited till after the morning rush. I don’t think I have the patience to wait in line for hours and then have to fight to get a piece, just too much work for me! I’ll probably check out what’s left (perhaps bits and pieces) after work today.

This video is a footage of the release in Stockholm, people looked pretty civilized – no snatching or fighting at least from the footage (LOL)! If anyone has pictures, videos or updates of the NYC 5th Avenue Flagship launch share it!

edit:
Just a quick update – searched on eBay and of course found listings for the Roberto Cavalli at H&m collection already! I don’t really know the retail price for the prices but I know they’re not cheap – the prices on eBay are pretty high!

    Omg, they’re all so calm and indeed, civilized! Unlike what I’ve seen in The Netherlands… People are running and grabbing everything they can get their hands on, trading items with others, yanking clothes out of each other’s hands… seriously…

    I always used to wait outside but I’m over it. It’s too cold today and I’d rather get some extra much needed sleep than deal with bitches who will fight for a cheaply made shirt. I’m glad it’s not just me that’s over it.

    The only thing left in the Stockholm stores this afternoon was the leopard tights. Not that I wanted to buy something. I hope there’s something left in the 5th avenue store for you :-)

    I was on line at the 34th St store today and once the store opened, it was utter madness!!! People were shoving and pushing…anything that fell on the floor was snatched up immediately! We made off with 7 pieces at the end! =P

  6. renaye says:

    okay!…. i went to the 5th ave store dis morning.. and i thought i was going to be on time i left from long island arouns 7am.. when i got there the line already wrapped around 51st.. i didnt make the first 150 ppl.. they got gift bags with gift cards and tee shirts.. i spoke to someone frm baltimore who camped out since midnite.. she was first in line :-) .. soon as the doors opened it was a madd rush.. and they snatched everything off the racks.. there were fights.. ppl jumping on top ov tables..WENDy willams was there (looking a terrible mess )… the only thing i made it out with were bras panties and 2 pairs of tights..(aww).. it was still fun.. and some of the models were there and Roberto Cavalli himself looks great

  7. renaye says:

    oh yea.. and they were throwing dresses from the top floors for ppl to catch lol.. adding to the maddness

  8. retrogurl says:

    wow thanks for the updates!

    renaye ~ wtfffff chaos, lols about wendy williams! but its like feeding the poor throwing down the dresses, hmm not sure i like how that sounds lols!

    luckily i dont have an interest in this collection, i think i like the accessories more than the clothes. perhaps pick up a few of the lingerie, jewelry and tights IF there’s any left ha.

    my friend Diana sent an update:

    http://www.nymag.com/daily/intel/2007/11/cavalli_jersey_madness_take_ov.html

    apparently the first in line (since 7 p.m. the night before) were a pair of cousins, 12-year-old Margaret and 24-year-old Frances.! ummm…is it worth it? u tell me!

    i saw almost whole collection today ( i didn’t go to University to do that XD ) and as i thought ( from looking at hm.com ) pieces are totally not worthy their high prices – bad cavalli , bad … and if pieces from V&R where at hm like 3-4 months ago ( on sale , especialy one dress , few styles of blouses and jeans left ) i think it will also be on sale one day . Maybe i will boy something then but for now am a BIG NO for that colab .

  11. jenny says:

    I went to H&M today to take a peek and found out they only released the RC collection in 50 stores worldwide?!?!?! I was so disappointed!

  12. nicole says:

    people were totally not civilized here in zurich. people were fighting, screaming, and just hysterical.
    everybody just grabed what ever they can get and later on traded it for what they were actually looking for.
    I was able to get a hold of the zebra and the long leo dress. Even in the right sizes ^_^
    I tried on the dresses at home and really the look wonderful. They’re really flowy and fall nicely.

    maybe I’ll post pictures later on :)

  13. Lalala says:

    I went to check it out at around 5pm, and there was nothing left. i was hoping it wont be that limited. i saw a few dresses left but they were extremely bad quality. does anyone know what were the original prices?just interested :)

  14. allison says:

    i went after work to South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA and there was absolutely nothing left. compeltely cleaned out. staff said everything was gone within 10 minutes.

  15. star says:

    If you want some Cavalli I saw this on ebay and it looks hot..

    It is Cavalli shirt w leopard print with roberto cavalli on the top with Gold lettering
    I would get it but I want the small one and the size small is already up to $50 on ebay
    Some stuff are being sold for crazy prices like a dress that was $99 is online for $500

    However this is still has a reasonable price

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESEX:IT&item=160178288186&_trksid=p3984.cSELL.m315.lVI

  16. star says:

    I went to 51th and 5th yesterday and I also saw Wendy Williams there…….I was absolute madness… I didnt even try to get the Cavalli stuff. I just shopped the regular stuff because nobody was paying any attention to it. I got a pair of brown patent heels for $29.99 I wanted the purple patent one or this suede boot for $59.90 but they didnt have my size

  17. retrogurl says:

    star ~ the ebay link you sent me – the shirt is made for h&m employees, i went by after work yesterday and saw all the females wearing it lols!

  18. star says:

    I know but the top is still cute and says roberto cavalli and its LEOPARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    It was also given to people who got to H&M early in the morning I think to the first 150 customers………………………………………

    YOU DONT THINK ITS CUTE LITTLE LEOPARD TOP

  19. star says:

    People are selling it on ebay for $50 bucks so for $15 its a DEAL

  20. star says:

    Did you buy anything yesterday at H&M Roberto Cavalli or not I love your H&M post

  21. maria says:

    star ~ i dont think you should be advertising your own ebay items on here! lol

    anyways, my friend went to h&m to get some stuff yesterday and she says it was madness, ppl grabbing onto anything and then trading in the store.
    my friend was only able to get me some undies and a bra, they are both super cute, the leopard print is really nice

  22. jen says:

    i’ve been to other collaborations before at h&m in new york, but i went to the paris one this year.. and they have soo much more inventory and people were much more civilized. i got there at 9 am (store opens at 10) and was about the 100-150th person in line and then the store opened early at 930. i ended up getting to try almost every piece in my size.. something that would have been impossible in ny! plus they kept restocking..
