About:
"The collection for H&M is the essence of Versace. For the collaboration we've brought back from the archives, as well as from more recent collections, some of the icons of Versace such as the bright prints, the Greek key and daring cuts. I can't wait to see how H&M’s wide audience will make these pieces their own." Donatella Versace. Shes not lying. There is even a dress a version the Fall 2011 bib dress with gold buttons. Leather, suits, skirts, all iconic designs that you recognize. Homeware, accessories and shoes--the works.
Launch Date:
The date that will be known as the Versace Massacre- Novemeber 17, 2011.
How much & where:
300 H&M Stores Nationwide. If you prefer less dramatics than a store visit, expect the website to crash and sell out all items like Missoni for Target on November 17th as well. Prices range from $20 for jewelry up to $300 for leather pieces like that fine ass dress above.
Worth the Wrestle?
I'm scared for you. I really am. Even I, who never subjects myself to the mass hysteria fashion launches, considered buying a tent, covering it with studs in the spirit of Donatella and pitching it on 34th Street. I'll say it, its hot. Its on point with the Versace name and there items for both men and women. Prince and Nikki Minaj are scheduled to play at the launch party. Consider it the equivalent of Barcelona's running with the bulls. There. Will. Be. Blood.
