Fashion Breakfast: H&M, Banana, Vogue, TIF, Aqua di Parma

There goes the neighborhood. H&M is coming to Camden. With (hello, Felix!) a new shop format aimed at 15 to 25 year olds. (Retail Week)

The U.K.'s first Banana Republic opened on Regent Street over the holiday weekend. So far, so good. And the goods only about 1/3 more expensive than they are in the U.S. (Retail Week)

The new cover of American Vogue has pissed off African-American bloggers. Why? Well, they photographed basketball superhero LeBron James and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen together and it kinda looks like he's King Kong and she's trying to flee his grip. I'm more annoyed that the fashion mag didn't bother to dress him properly. Do we really need another man in shorts on our newsstands? (First Post)

Tiffany's sparkling fourth quarter put a shine on all luxury and retail stocks. (WWD)

Aqua di Parma expands from fragrance into skincare. And it only took them 92 years to decide to go for it. (WWD)
