First Look: Versace for H&M Preview

I just got the preview pictures from H&M for their upcoming Versace collaboration.  It’s loud, it’s bold and oh so bright.  This ain’t your typical fall collection.  Fuchsia anyone? Sequins? Perhaps a metallic rock star look for the holidays? How about some gold studs? If you’re looking for all that, and you want to be the center of attention, Versace for H&M is for you.  Check it out readers!

The womenswear line features everything from a little black dress with subtle cut outs to lots of bling and bring colors.  The menswear line is every bit as flash.  Check out the pink suit for men. The long sleeved sweater on the lower left with the palm tree print reminds me of the print on the scandalous Versace dress that J. Lo wore to the Grammys a few years ago.

So you’ve seen the pictures, now here is what you need to know if you want to snag any of this, because we all know it will sell out, and within minutes you’ll find much of it for sale on eBay.  All collections will be available in around 300 stores worldwide, as well as on-line, from 17th November.  I’m banking H&M will have their website ready for high-demand and that we won’t see the type of fail that Target experienced for their Missoni collection.  If you’re buying at the store, you know the deal, you need to get there early to get in line. Watch this space as I will post details on queuing up when I receive from H&M.

For the first time, this H&M designer collection will include housewares,  “reflecting Versace’s influential home designs.” My spies tell me that there will be pillows and a bedspread with a multicolour floral Japanese fan print. Sounds intriguing, right? Here’s a picture of the pillow, with a nude model alongside as a show accessory. Pillows will be $29.95 and $39.95 depending on size.  The floral bedspread will be $149.00 USD.
