The doors of the H&M store on Walnut Street opened at 8 a.m. Thursday, but some faithful fashion fans were in line since 8 the night before the launch.
Take for example Jason Ayers, who stood on the curb anxiously awaiting a friend who was inside the store. "I've been here since 8 last night and I have an interview in New York today," said Ayers, dressed in a grey bespoke suit. "There's this belted jacket I like and these shoes I wanted," he said noting that he's a fan of Margiela because it's "different, but classy."

This Friday, November 16th, British interior designer and hotelier Kit Kemp will be stopping by Anthropologie's Rittenhouse Square store for a discussion on style and signing of her new book, A Living Space. In her book, Kemp shows how to leave behind design "rules" to create truly beautiful, original interiors that have a personal, handcrafted feel. For more than twenty years, Kemp has been at the forefront of the international design community, with her signature style that mixes contemporary elements with antiques and junk-shop finds, luxurious fabrics with printed wallpapers, and hand-finished detailing with collections of simple objects that create impact. She is also co-owner (with husband Tim) and design director of luxury hotels group Firmdale. A Living Space is available from Hardie Grant Books.

The fashion zeitgeist may be pointing in the direction of pantsuits, but singer Taylor Swift is still all about the dress.
The country western pop star talks about fashion in the December/January issue of Harper's Bazaar on newsstands November 27.
On wearing dresses: “I’m in a predicament where I can’t wear a dress twice or else it’s pointed out in magazines,” she says. “So unfortunately I have to shop for dresses all the time.”

Okay, I'm with her.
Here is where the logic stops working: “Whether it’s a summertime dress that makes me feel care free, an evening cocktail dress that makes me feel fancy or a vintage dress that makes me feel like a ’50s housewife — which I enjoy feeling like, for some reason — I just really like dresses.”
