H&M
H&M does not stand for Her Majesty. It stands for Hennes & Mauritz. I have heard and read numerous people saying it stands for Her Majesty, I don’t know where they got that from. [Link]

Hmm Interesting.. I think They even mentioned it on their Radio Ads. Abt H&M Standing for Her Majesty….but who cares.. I wear Calvin & Hobbes TShirts to work :P
Yeah I heard it too on 99.7 (Madonna’s voice)
from 99.7 n that lyin ho madonna
Exactly!! Thank u. Been saying that to everyone! They all got it from 99.7 FM
Well, H&M stands for Hennes & Mauritz indeed. However, in their Radio Ad Madonna says it stands for “Her Majesty” and jokes “aren’t they sweet?” or something like that. Its just a way to grab attention, but it’s been confusing people..
I think it stands for Hommos and Moutabal, I am hungry people, everything stands for food names those days.
Isnt her Majesty something like HMS .. that store is going to be crazy!
HMV = His Master’s Voice
HP (sauce) = Harry Palmer
If it stands for Her Majesty, the “&” wouldn’t be there.
Its just a way of getting everyone attention. Everyone was going around saying ‘omg it means Her Majesty’ im lik ‘uhh ur an idiot to believe that!’
O well, i guess thats their way of advertising. hopefully they will get it right next time :P
yep. it stands for hommos and moutabal to me too.
from Madona
Madonna is the brand ambassador fro H&M. in The radio ad has her saying it’s Her Majesty (the store in KWT has ladies and kids wear!)
75 more minutes for Hommos and Moutabal and Fattoush
HMF
its a shame that they dont have menswear…
Madonna is the QUEEN of the world, after all (if you don’t count Elton John). Perhaps she’s getting a bit confused in her old age…
i’m not in kuwait so I wouldn’t know about the rumors but the ‘and’ part should have tipped them off ..
its was a part of t joke…coz madonnas nickname was “Madge”,so her since “Her Majesty” kinda sounds like it,they used their silly brit humour as their thier H&M line…thts my take on it atleast….
H&M is originally from Sweden. Hennes and Mauritz are a husband and wife who started their clothing business there. When I first visited sweden (8-9 years old), my uncle was driving me around, and telling me about sweden and its shops. He started with H&M and was afraid I will forget what H&M stands for, so he gave me a better nickname. H&M = Haj Ma7moud :)
Hennes Och Mauritz* actually
Why can’t they get it right? H&M stands 4 Hennes & Mauritz, Hennes & Mauritz, HENNES & MAURITZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUH….It stands for Hip and Modern.
