Colette x Gap: the hardest ticket in town?

Spotted this afternoon at the Colette x Gap pop-up store: a line snaking down Fifth Avenue and up 54th Street. Said a line-warden staffer: "I got here at 9:30, and there were already 20 people waiting. (The shop opened at 10 a.m.; by the time we snapped this photo, there were a hundred-plus shoppers waiting.) Desperate Francophiles have at least this consolation: Entertainment is provided by the boisterous and bagpiping Labor Day parade (which, as per usual, is a little late this year). Compared with the glacial Gap line, it seems to be sprinting up the avenue.
