Donatella Versace is going to design an exclusive collection for the fast fashion brand that will comprise of 40 women’s pieces, 20 men’s pieces and a slew of accessories that exude the high glamour and high fashion Versace is known for. The Versace for H&M collection, which debuts in November 19th in stores, will be made up of rich materials like leather, prints, heavy metals and more, but at H&M prices.
“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,” says Donatella Versace.
Yea we’re thrilled too Donatella. Finally, women can slip their slinky figures into a Versace creation without feeling guilty for not paying the bills. Some photos from the collection are already out and I must say, this is going to be a fun collection that men and women will be stabbing each other in line for. Donatella has also created a pre-spring collection for H&M, which will land in store January 19th.
“Versace is one of the most important brands of recent times and their collection for H&M will be glamorous and extraordinary – everything Versace stands for. Versace is sharing with us iconic designs from the archives. This is such a celebratory collaboration and is perfect for the festive season,” says Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M.
