Everywhere I turn in this city people are abuzz about the H & M. You’d think it was donuts. “When will H&M open?” “Did you hear that H&M is coming to LA!?” “H&M is opening in Pasadena!” “H&M is opening at the Beverly Center!” “The Beverly Center is to be the location of a holy gigantic huge H&M!” “H&M is the apparel industry’s response to to the food industry’s A&W: Cheap, frosty and fantastic with a side of chili cheese fries!” “I hope the H&M lines at the H&M here won’t be as H&M bad as the H&M lines at the H&M in Union Square in San H&MFrancisco!” “Whenever I go to New York I go straight to…”
Citizens!! Put a cork in it already. They’re open for business, now, at 1050 South La Brea. Apparently they had a soft opening some years ago and have been testing the waters unannounced, ever since:
H&M!!!
Oh you big pain in the ass! @&%#$. My lady is such a HUGE freaking H&M fan that *I* got excited for her when I saw your post. “That’s what were doing this weekend” I thought, imagining how little I was going to see her this weekend…. and then the picture. Awesome!! I think I’m going to show her the post…I hope I survive!
H&M sucks. It’s basically cheap clothes that look cheap and fall apart in about a week. It’s basically Urban Outfitters + Gap.
H&M is known for human rights abuses or something, isn’t it?
Roonie, you’re thinking of Abercrombie & Fitch. People, H&M is sooooo last year! What we really need is a ZARA!!!
Hey, who hasn’t committed a little human rights abuse every now and then? Am I right folks?
And there be a ZARA on 3rd in Santa Monica, Oh Fancy One.
Five comments on this post and not ONE mention of Tacos El Pecas #2, which is half a block away.
You guys suck ass.
Tacos El Pecas #2 – YESSSSS!
I have never even been to #1.
There’s a Zara down on 3rd Street…but it’s no damn H & M! Yes the clothing is budget but… I can’t shop at no Abercrombie and Fitch. I’m not white!
I went to school in Syracuse, where there’s a readily available H&M in the lone good mall in the city. It fits a student’s budget quite nicely, and you can look fabu for cheap. Although I feel guilty with the rumored problems regarding labor (something I recall hearing at one point…), but this is a totally different breed than Abercrombie and Gap and Banana, etc. I guess it’s a good thing; the more LA has, the more perfect it becomes, right?
You big tease!!!!!!!!!!! H & M WILL be a big deal when it opens.
OH HA HA. That was so funny I almost forgot to laugh. I love H&M so much dammit. It bugs me when people compare Abercrombie to H&M. Aber. is just an expensive store for people that don’t have a daring style. Ripped jeans and t-shirts with Abercrombie written on them are kinda gettin’ old.
But H&M….wow. They change as often as the fashion industry. So what if they aren’t top notch quality. At least they hold up long enough for the next style to roll around. I mean, if you’re gonna buy jeans, shoes, or a jacket that you’ll wear forever, buy it an expensive store.
That’s it. I’m….pretty much obsessed with that store. Yep, not gonna lie.
I guess those Swedes will have the last laugh: http://watercoolerwastaken.blogspot.com/2006/08/h-m.html
Zara is like the best store ever
H + M is basically like an IKEA for clothes
zara on the other hand is like total european chic with an edge
there is one on third street and they’re opening one at the westfield in century city
i’m soooooooooooooooooo excited!
Y’all need to stop talking about Zara. Secret, ok? Let them fling themselves like lemmings into H&M and emerge dressed in ill fitting clothes that look like they came from Forever 21 that EVERYONE will be wearing.
A Zara just opened up in the Fashion Square on Riverside. I want nearly every coat they stock.
I make a lovely tongue stew, people…
When you could only get H&M in NY it was cool. Because you could wear it out here, and people would be like, “where did you get that?” Now, everyone will have access to the same cheap clothes. And now every single douchbag out there will be wearing the same shirt you are, because it was only 14.99 at H&M
What is Zara’s? I live in San diego and frequent L.A a lot. I would like to visit Zara’s
first its just zara- not zara’s. its a little more expensive than hm but last hella longer. plus everytime i walk into hm people are stepping on clothes b/c it is so messy. plus zara already has 4 locations in la!!
H&M doesn’t pay much and has no guarantees about your hours. I would not recommend this company for employment, unless you are desperate and can’t find a job that gives you 20+ hours. 5 hours a week after week – at H&M is not unusual.

H&M is way overrated. I dunno, maybe it’s good for hoochie 20-something women, but the men’s selection basically sucks techno ass. Though maybe people you meet might ask you if you’re wearing your sister’s sheer blouse that is falling apart if you’re a guy wearing H&M. Well, that and whatever last year’s latest outdated cool thing was, like neo-vintage parkas with faux fur on the hood. Bleh. Cheap and nasty, but with that important pretention. And not really even that cheap. I can get way superior clothing on sale at many places that matches the H&M pricing.
San H&M Francisco had me laughing my @ss off cause it’s mostly tourists going to the H&M store near union square and they can be forgiven since they’re having their San Francisco/Disneyland experience and want their mouse ears for San Francisco.
