The List of Lists: Fashion/The Scene

• H&M
  It's unanimous: The Swedish purveyor of cheap chic has officially taken over the budget-conscious Twin Cities with its brand of ripped-from-the-runways design.
• Target
  Target's wildly successful GO! International, which introduces up-and-coming designers to the mainstream, has set a new standard for high-end design at low-end prices.
• Macy's
  Apparently we're done mourning Marshall Field's, and thereby the loss of many of its noted designers. It must be the bottom-of-the-barrel sale prices.
• Forever 21
  A dirty little secret of many fashionistas, this mall warehouse is packed with designer knock-offs that are so spot-on it's scandalous.
• Express
  With generic designs and prices that are about 50 percent higher than places like H&M, why bother? Must be the blowout sales.
• Ragstock
  Though the longstand-ing thrift staple's new merchandise is rather ordinary, it's still the place to go to find a Halloween costume or vintage dress on the cheap.
• Off 5th
  Further nullifying Nicollet Mall's high-end rep, Saks Fifth Avenue's abandoned child is helping downtown become the new destination for thrifty spenders.
• The Limited
  For real? Come on, you guys. Nobody really shops here anymore, do they? I thought they closed in the mid-'90s.
• Everyday People
  The shops have moved away from vintage, but you can still occasionally find a classic gem tucked in among the mall junk.
• Heartbreaker
  For those who can't trek out to the mall to load up at Forever 21, try this locally owned chop shop.
