After months of anticipation amongst fashion-lovers, the first H&M store in New Delhi is now open! In an unprecedented milestone, over 2,500 H&M fans lined up prior to the ribbon cutting for the official launch of the city’s new fashion destination. The roaring energy and excitement earlier this morning truly celebrated the brand’s offering of fashion and quality at the best price in a sustainable way.
Post the exclusive VIP party with Bollywood celebrities like Ranveer Singh and Jacqueline Fernandez on September 30th, H&M fans were treated to a bloc party atmosphere for the Grand Opening. The celebrations were hosted by popular artist Kanan Gill with a live DJ set and street entertainment, the H&M Store team also joined in the fun with a high energy flash mob. Having lined up in the queue more than a day prior to the opening, the first three fashion enthusiasts received gift cards of INR 15,000, INR 10,000 and INR 7,500 respectively and the first 1000 customers all received a limited edition H&M India tote bag. Karl-Johan Persson – CEO; Janne Einola – Country Manager and Kapil Vig – Store Manager cut the red ribbon to welcome customers to the store located at Select CITYWALK, Saket and spread across more than 25,000 sq. ft.
“We have been waiting for this day for a long time now and this fabulous response is truly worth the wait! I am hopeful that Indian customers will enjoy our diverse offering and find fashion inspiration in the store” said Janne Einola, Country Manager, H&M Hennes & Mauritz Retail Pvt. Ltd. India.
