Today is the big launch of Maison Martin Margiela's collaboration with H&M. And though editors and VIPs got a preview last night (more on that later), everyone else had to wait until doors opened at 8 am this morning. So naturally someone was going to sleep on a sidewalk. Our sister site in New York reports that the first people in line at New York's Fifth Avenue flagship are Korean tourists who staked out their place at 9 am yesterday morning. Stay tuned for more reports of opening day chaos from our sister sites across the country.
