With so many
designer-retailer collaborations going on, it’s hard to keep each of them straight.
But one new collection is on every fashionista’s mind - “The Very Best of
Versace” clothing line debuting at H&M this month!
H&M
announced the limited edition fall collection partnered with the Italian powerhouse
label back in June.
"Versace is one of the most important brands of recent
times, and their collection for H&M will be glamorous and
flamboyant — everything Versace stands for,” Margareta van den Bosch, creative
adviser at H&M, said in a press release.
Feel like your fall wardrobe is missing some neon blocking,
leather mini dresses or gold studs? Well this line is the answer to your
prayers. The collection features early 90s designs that were originated by
founder Gianni Versace, including traditional Greek motifs, palm trees and no
shortage of leather, studs and beading.
Donatella Versace, the label’s chief designer, said in an
interview with H&M that she “wanted this opportunity to show where Versace
has been and where it is now.”
She told the Wall street Journal that the collection was an
homage to Gianni and that he would love the clothes as well as the celebration
of the brand as much as she does.
To celebrate the
collaboration, Versace and H&M hosted a fashion show at New York’s Pier 57.
The packed event boasted a star-studded guest list including Blake Lively, Uma Thurman and
Zachary Quinto with after party performances by Nicki Minaj and Prince!
After the event, Versace told the Wall Street Journal “if
Gianni was there, he would approve. It was so much fun.”
The line will
debut in select locations November 19! If you want to take a peek at the rest
of the line or see if any stores near you are stocking the collection, check
