Sheep Fall in Line for Fashion

If you still haven't gotten your hands on Viktor & Rolf for (affordable fashion retailer) H&M, chances are you never will. It wasn't quite like Stella McCartney last year, but nonetheless the nuptials-styled collection sold out within minutes today at the Soho H&M store in Manhattan. (You know it's hot when a girl-mob starts squealing and viciously smacking each other with hangers in the face.) We're happy to report that there were still a few jackets and coats in large sizes left at 10:30 a.m., but the trenches, the pretty ruffle tops, and the silk cocktail dresses were gone within the first few minutes.
Famous for their eccentricity (bed-pillow head rests and ballroom dancing at the shows), Dutch fashion wizards Viktor & Rolf served up exceptionally well-made clothes with meticulous details: silk-covered buttons, perfect lining, satin insets—great designer bang for the buck if you're willing to forgive the silly bride and groom scenario they've been advertising in major metropolitan areas everywhere.
