Wake up all you style starved shoppers of Munich because H&M's latest endeavor proves a glorious feast of color, cuts and high fashion straight from the runways. Located where the GAP used to be, the fourth H&M shop to open on Kaufingerstrasse fills a niche that the other branches leave bare. This latest addition to the Swedish chain store deviates from the other shops in stock as well as appearance. Hippie beads in blue, green and red lead the way into green and white dressing rooms, while wild colors flaunt the walls, mirroring the Pucci prints and styles sold on the floor. ...

H&M launches a fourth shop on Kaufingerstr.

The ground floor offers accessories galore, with an array of hats, jewelry, cosmetics and even shoes to pick from. The first floor serves to men, with funkier coats, jeans and '70s style underwear. The second floor is devoted to women, with a mix of jeans, t-shirts, and Prada inspired prints. For those tired of seeing their wardrobe displayed on other people around the city, the yellow section offers vintage clothes at decent prices, for him and her. On the lower level, amongst the murals of purples grapes and pink butterflies, H&M's popular snoopy underwear is laid out, together with the sexier options.

All in all, this new shop is a breath of fresh air for those of us craving funkier styles at affordable prices. It is the closest Munich has ever come to providing an edge like TOPSHOP does in the UK. Hopefully it is only the beginning.

The three other H&M branches on Kaufingerstrasse are:

The large H&M closest to Marienplatz. This caters to the more business-like dressers, with suits for men and women, as well as the ground floor devoted to children's clothing.

For those seeking subdued, classier clothes, the women's H&M store in Arcade offers 4 floors of sports clothing, lingerie and classier clothes.

The smaller H&M at Kaufingerstrasse 24 is currently under construction and will relaunch as an all men's H&M on 4th November 2004.

In addition there are two H&M stores at the Olympia shopping center, one at the PEP in Neuperlach Süd, and one in the Riem Arcade.

And a Burtons please! Hopefully more shops will mean less of the AWFUL queues they have in H+M sometimes.

I was at one of their opening nights during the Oktoberfest (30th Sept.). Stumbling from the tents down kaufingerstr. We saw that there was a party around 12pm at night. Using my charm I managed to get in and get a free drink and a free t-shirt.

I realise it's incredibly un-pc of me, but I miss the Gap! H&M clothes don't ever fit right. At least the Gap was dependable in its fits - s, reg. and l. The clothes were mostly wearable, and lasted (most of the time) beyond 3 washings.

H&M is a whole different target market. Cheap, 80's-inspired colourful crap.

U re asking what else to wear than H&M? HELLO? Open your eyes, Rudolph.

Again, as I said and others elaborated: H&M is cheap shit and won't endure more than a couple of washings.

So I rather buy one instead of three sweaters but will have that one last for a while.

The fact that there are four branches of H&M on the same street - which is barely 500m in length - shows just how little choice there is for shopping in Munich compared to other German cities. It's nearly as bad as in Britain, where the Arcadia group (Topshop, Topman, Burtons, Principles, Wallis, Miss Selfridge, Evans etc etc) virtually dominate the mid-price clothing market.

thank heavens for H&M.
fashion changes so quickly so I'm glad that there's a low-price way to keep looking trendy and fab.
so what if the quality of the gear isn't amazing...you get what you pay for and the stuff is cheaply priced.
glad there's 4 of them too...they're less congested now. stop moaning. do you know there's 3 giant Karstadts, 2 Kaufhofs, 2 or 3 Orsays, 2 Benettons etc etc.
if you don't like H&M don't shop there.

"H&M is cheap shit and won't endure more than a couple of washings"
I've had many of my H&M things for years, and they still look fine.

To be honest, I love their stuff - they're really affordable, and they turnover their stock so often that there's always something new in.

By all accounts their children's section is brilliant too. If you don't like H&M, go somewhere else, there may be 4 stores on Kaufingerstr, but there are plenty of other shops too to choose from (Zara, Mango, Halhuber etc).

leave H&M alone...it's obviously very popular here judging by how full the stores always are. they must be doing something right.

thechief: your vocabulary is very limited and repetitive.

Hee, agree with oompahloompah, leave the store alone.

Don't think anyone is in a position to diss H&M when they come out with this...
