It’s finally here! H&M has finally revealed the Versace for H&M full collection. Thanks Vogue UK for having it up! The collection will hit H&M stores November 17th 2011. Price will range from $17.99 to $299 which is a little pricey for H&M, but far less for Versace.
“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,” says Donatella Versace.
So what can we expect from the collection?
Expect bold colors and bright prints, grecian pieces, and iconic dresses. There’s also homeware items like pillows and throw blankets too. Awesome!
Doo-Ri Chung, known for her gorgeous draped separates and dresses is the next designer to collaborate with Macy’s on a capsule collection, following Matthew Williamson, Karl Lagerfeld, and Giambattista Valli. Her Macy’s Impulse line will have the same creative flair as her personal line with short and long-length dresses, trenchcoats, knitwear, blouses, leggings and art prints.
“Women definitely want clothes that are versatile. I love pieces that you wear for day, and when you accessorize, become perfect for evening, too,” she said.
The collection will be available Feb. 15, 2012 online and in stores. Prices range from $39 to $159.
Giambattista Valli is launching a limited-edition holiday collection for Macy’s Impulse and here’s a sneak peek of the capsule line.
“This capsule reflects my enduring loves, but is really a celebration of my biggest inspiration of all—the energy and vitality of women themselves,” the Italian designer said.
This capsule collection has a mix of strapless cocktail party dresses, leopard print pants and dresses, sequin tees, organza skirts, drop-waist ruffled dresses, and more. The Giambattista Valli for Impulse at Macy’s will be available later on this month right in time for the holidays. Prices are all under $150. Sweet!
Looks like H&M continues to dripfeed more pictures from the Versace for H&M collection which is slated to hit stores November 19, 2011. I’m anxiously waiting for the full release of this collection but these teasers continues to build on the anticipation.
This time, H&M released pictures of Abbey Lee Kershaw wearing a couple of mini dresses (love the black leather minidress!) and cool accessories.
Are you super psyched about the Versace for H&M collection as I am?
Just yesterday, Target started dropping hints on Twitter about who their next designer collaboration will be and now it’s confirmed that Jason Wu is the next Target designer. The line will be available starting February 5 through March 6, 2012. Prices will be a reasonable starting from $19.99 to $59.99 for apparel and $19.99 to $49.99 for handbags. I’m so looking forward to this new line from Target. It probably wont cause as much of a frenzy like Missoni’s collaboration but that’s okay. I’m just excited that it’s Jason Wu because I love his ladylike designs.
“The exciting thing about this limited edition collection of affordable women’s wear and accessories is that it allows me to reach a wider audience and bring my designs to people who may not have been able to purchase them before,” Wu told WWD. “My collection for Target is chic and wearable. I think women everywhere will enjoy it.”
Peep out his spring 2012 collection!
Now you all may be wondering what his collection will actually look like. I was too until Target posted a photo of a colorful print and sketches. Jason Wu’s current muse for his line- a cat named Milu. Wu told WWDthat his collection “features clothes and accessories that are easily convertible from day to evening — sophisticated, feminine dresses, mix-and-match separates and playful accessories all with a bit of charm and dressed-up attitude.”
Pics still not enough? Check out this video!
Sounds exciting! More Jason Wu and Target news to come so I’ll keep everyone posted!
The Versace for H&M campaign is finally out and it features models Lindsey Wixson, Daphne Groeneveld, and Sasha Pivovarova. From the beginning, Donatella Versace has stated that she wanted to showoff the Versace heritage so we shouldn’t be surprise to see Gianni’s unique play of colors and grecian geometric style prints. I can’t wait to see more covetable pieces from this collection.
