Polka dots and Perspex: Shoppers flock to the H&M Marni launch

Sandra Youkhana, 23, Student
I queued from 7am this morning. I have always been attracted to the odd fits of Marni clothes, they're refined and quirky. I mainly came to get a bag and a t-shirt. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Russell Harris, 28, Studio Manager
I spent £200 today on trousers and jackets. I am a fan of the regular Marni range and the quality of this range is really good for the price, it's what you'd expect from a high-street collaboration. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Nga Nguyen, 19, Student.
I spent £500 today. I have some items from the mainline Marni range as well. The items here are actually a lot more practical than the mainline. I bought a lot of womenswear but also clothes for my brother. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Mawi Keivom, Jewellery designer
I spent £600 this morning. The accessories and coats are what I mainly came for and I got what I wanted. I love the signature Marni look and I think this is one of the better H&M collaborations Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

L-R Maria Fernandez, 22, Nicole Foo, 18, and Sally Ainsworth, 20, All students
Sally: We each spent £300 today and queued since 4am. We mainly came for a printed dress but our sizes were already gone by the time we got inside.
Nicole: The jewellery was much better quality than I expected, I thought it'd be a lot tackier in real life. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Maj Abualjadayed, 35, Interiors Architect
I have been queueing since 7am and spent around £1000 today. I'm a fan of Marni as you can see from my outfit. The first thing that drew me in was the jewellery, but I bought a mixture of everything from the mens and womens section. I've queued up in the past for the Lanvin and Versace collections but this one is the best quality by far, they've really improved their collaborations. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Lin Loh, 23, Student
I queued since 7.30am and was let in at 9. The main thing that attracted me to this range was the accessories and men's t-shirts. I spent £80 in the menswear section and now I have to queue all over again to shop in the womenswear section! Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Riccardo Sato, Retail Manager
Before this I hadn't been interested in a H&M collaboration since the Comme des Garcons one in 2008. This collection is a lot more wearable and commercial. I came for one jacket in particular but ended up spending £350 on the jacket, scarves and bags. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Riccardo Sato

Jon Uriart, 34, Graphic Designer
I didn't queue for long at all. I don't usually queue up for these kind of things but I really liked the trouser shapes so I've spent £129 on trousers today. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Jocelyn Macdonald, 40, Marketing Executive
I was in the queue at 6.45am. The sizing is pretty disappointing as it doesn't go past a 14 but I scored this amazing jacket for £150! Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Greg Topp, 25, Store manager
I got a tip off that the queue for menswear was small so I got in very quickly. Inside it was manic though, I've never seen anything like it. I have never queued for a clothing range before but this summer I'm going to be all about matching shirts and shorts so it was ideal. I spent £250 in total. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Guardian

Narya Abhimata, 26, Photographer
I queued for 2 hours today and spent £400. I'm really happy I got the contrast sleeve shirt from the mens and I also got a lot of womenswear for my friends. With these things the clothes can always look good on the website and then rubbish in real life, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Photograph: Linda Nylind/Linda Nylind
