Well, she’s into everything else – movies, music and books – so it was probably only a matter of time before Madonna came out with her own clothing line.
The “M” line was unveiled at H & M stores around the country on Thursday. In Manhattan, her fans waited breathlessly for a glimpse. All along the sidewalk outside the Midtown department store, fans expressed their willingness to dress like Madonna.
“She’s beautiful,” one woman said. “I wanna look like Madonna.”
Many other people sat back and sang the praises of the “Material Girl.”
On Thursday, a long line of frantic fashionistas lined the streets outside of affordably hip clothier H & M. “Well … I really want her clothes… ” one fan said. Some of them began lining up around 5 a.m. Thursday.

Material girl, indeed. A line of clothing co-designed by pop queen Madonna went on sale around the world Thursday in branches of Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz.
Pieces in the M by Madonna collection, co-designed by H&M design chief Margareta van den Bosch, include a leather trench coat, sequined shift dresses, cream-colored calf-length pants and matching cropped jackets.
“I am a Madonna fan but the reason I am buying the clothes is that they are very nice and feminine and the prices are very reasonable,” said Magda Grabowik, 32, as she lined up to pay for a coat, jacket and dresses at H&M’s Oxford Street store.

Madonna’s much-anticipated clothing line, “M by Madonna,” went on sale at the low-priced Swedish retailer Hennes & Mauritz AB’s stores around the world on Thursday.
Excited shoppers in New York, where Madonna began her career, queued up about 30 minutes before the H&M store on Manhattan’s ritzy Fifth Avenue opened, in order to be among the first to see the diva’s collection.
Within two hours some items, including belts and small purses, had sold out, said one sales associate. Another hot seller was a white, double-breasted trench coat, which Madonna, who co-designed the line for the Swedish company, wears in the campaign’s advertisements.
“That white, silky coat is gorgeous, I think my daughter, who is 19, would love it,” said Mary Taylor, a public relations executive, who was among the curious.
