"   Photo: Courtesy of H&amp;amp;amp;M   H&amp;amp;amp;M is ready to cement its place as New York&amp;#039;s behemoth of fast fashion with the announcement that it will open its largest store in the world next year. The space, on Fifth Avenue at 48th Street, clocks in at 57,000-square feet with six levels of shopping, reports WWD. The location brings things full circle for the brand, which first touched down stateside in 2000, just three blocks from the future location. Since then, the label has wasted no time blazing a path across the country. There are currently 247 U.S. outposts, and Manhattan will see its 12th store open in The Shops at Columbus Circle by the end of the year. Aside from the gargantuan size, the new space will be different from others in the fact that it will offer all of H&amp;amp;amp;M&amp;#039;s collections, including lingerie, children&amp;#039;s, maternity, and home. The Swedish retailer&amp;#039;s former top spot was at The Forum Shops at Caesars in Las Vegas.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
