Versace For H&M

“I am thrilled to be collaborating with H&M and to have the opportunity of reaching their wide audience. The collection will be quintessential Versace, perfect for H&M and Versace fans everywhere,” Donatella said in an official announcement. After repeatedly denying the offer to collaborating in May of 2008 At the New York Times’ TimesTalk series. Donatella stated "I respect everyone who does it, but the reason I didn’t do it is because I work very hard to put the Versace line in the luxury section. I think to put the Versace line in H&M would confuse the brand,”. after the amazing success of design collaborations with Karl Lagerfeld, Jimmy Choo, Stella McCartney, and Comme des Garcons it behoves the Versace brand not to jump at the chance and expand their client bace. The Versace collaboration will consist of flamboyant tailored menswear, and iconic sexy womenswear, luxurious homeware which will go on sale on November 17 followed by a pre-spring collection that will be available online on January 19. I personally am excited and will be first in line for this promotion. Versace's ionic sexy silhouette are well worth fighting off a horde of metropolitan gay men i would die for a blazer... .
