versace x h&m

After much wondering, the guessing game is done. The entire Versace for H&M lookbook is out, and we can't wait for it to hit stores.

The collection, which is slated to hit American stores November 19th, is filled with loud prints, super bright colours, leather and this year's favourite trend, cutouts.

“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. 



It is a loud collection, but don't be scared off at first glance. The printed leggings, dresses and bags can all be paired with something neutral (think black) for the faint of heart.


If you still lack the motivation to throw on one of these pieces, relax. For the first time ever, this collaboration will feature home decor. This means you can now decorate your bedroom with classic Versace prints with pillows and a bedspread. 


Our only holdback with this collection? The jewellery and bags look tacky. The jewelled details look like they are going to fall right off, and let's be honest, it's not a good look for anyone. The costume jewellery is just that - costume. It's something you'd wear once and then get tired of. 


Our advice is to avoid the accessories and stick to the clothes. You can buy subpar purses and one-time use jewellery somewhere else. 


Here's a little something extra. A video from the set where the TV commercial is being made, featuring Donatella herself!

Just a quick post today with an amazing video. Here's a little insight on how those Marc Jacobs bags we all covet each season are made.

I'm too lazy right now to think of an interesting blog title name (sorry!). I hope all of our readers remember Kevin and Chris from Loose Cannons Clothing and the post I did wayy back in November. If not, check it out here.

They recently launched their Summer '11 video and I am very much impressed.






They make great t-shirts with interesting messages and are definitely worth your time to check out.
