Young and foolish
This clothing store gets more cryptic by the week. As if this earlier posting wasn’t bad enough, we now have ‘divided girls’ on two floors, with ‘divided boys’ getting some space on the ground floor. The big question on my mind is where’s the added value of confusing people?

My guess: it’s about a girl’s division hence the girls are divided…
confusing indeed

If this picture was taken in a H&M (Hennis & Mauritz), Divided could imply a brandname.
In this case, one of their main brands actually.

Nope, it’s not a brand, it’s Dunglish. These are the same people who came up with “Take 2 pay for 1”.

My guess it’s a (faulty) translation of “afdeling”, meaning department.

Martijn is right – “divided” is what H&M dubbed this year’s summer collection:

1. The word “divided” is between brackets on the site, and could use a capital letter.
2. The link mentions an “on line” campaign, whereas this was an “in store” sign.
3. Me no like. Het deugt gewoon niet!
