Video: Tug of war breaks out at Comme des Garcon for H&M New York launch

By Kimberley Foster on November 13th, 2008

Here in the States the reception towards Comme des Garcon for H&M may have been a little lukewarm, compared to the Tokyo reaction, but that didn’t stop tempers from flaring at the New York launch. Two shoppers let their determination to own one of the polka dot scarves get the better of them, resulting in a tug of war breaking out inside the store. Watched on by amused crowds, the pair fought openly for the scarf until a shop assistant was forced to intervene. Who said shopping wasn’t a competitive sport? Click play above to watch.
