We're up early and on line today at both the Herald Square and flagship stores for the much anticipated Comme des Garçons for H&M launch. Brace for pushing, shoving, long lines and lots of polka dots. And if you're waiting with us, you can track our Twitter and tag your own updates with #rny.

7:47am: Line now around the corner.
7:55am: So the line is not all kids. There's a guy in a funky, chunky sweater and some older groups behind me.
8:12am: Since we're in front of Victoria's Secret, people are talking about the news that VS bras may have formaldehyde.
8:28am: Passersby are starting to ask questions. Hate when that happens.
8:32am: H&M people just came down the line handing out cards about the item limit. One woman asked about sizing, employee says it runs very small.
