Having set up shop in shopping meccas like South Korea, Hong Kong and Shanghai, Swedish clothing retail giant Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) will finally open up a branch in Singapore at Orchard in late 2011. The brand is known for its trendy yet affordable threads, and its collaborations with guest designers such as Stella McCartney, Lanvin, Roberto Cavalli have given budget-conscious fashionistas the chance to don big label clothes without emptying their pockets.
