The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

Snubbed again, dammit! I just called the H&M store at the Mall of America to double-check, but it looks like the retailer has decided to skip Minneapolis (yet again) when it launches its massclusive line of Roberto Cavalli for H&M next week. Not that the line is covetable in the first place. (I mean, leopard prints on the cheap? Puhleeze.) But here’s what goads me: Minneapolitans might not have invented massclusivity, but we certainly popularized the notion of affordable design (our very own Target Corporation did, in any case). Don't we at least deserve to see and touch the clothes? Alas, if a Twin Citian finds herself dying for a leopard print satin camisole with black, lacy trim, she’ll just have to trek to H&M on Michigan Avenue. Of course, the clothes will be on eBay by November 9 (where Lagerfeld and Stella McCartney's lines for H&M are still everpresent).
