Versace for H&M

Who still wears Versace?? Did anyone ever? Well...I knew a few guys back in high school but I won't speak of them now. Here is the entire collection on fashionista.com. I don't really have anything against Versace, just that it still looks like its stuck in the 90s with their gaudy prints and douche bag shirts. The H&M version just makes it more affordable for you to achieve the Eurotrash look. Donatella even added in pink oxfords for the guys. Perfect for Perez Hilton. You would think the pieces alone would work somehow, but NO. They don't. Some of her dresses look okay, but she IS Versace, so of course there's lots shimmer, bedazzling and their signature border. Will they ever change? Do we want it to? On one hand, its an establishment that is so familiar its comforting to know that some things don't change. On the other they're unwilling to stray from their gaudy prints and colors, making them predictable. Which no one wants to be. 

Lanvin for H&M

I'm all for collaborations between designers, and H&M is notorious for theirs. This is one I actually like because H&M managed to make it still look like couture with out compromising Lanvin's designs. Lucky mag has a preview and a video.

Update:
The release day quickly approaches and you have to decide if you want to wait in line for a piece of Lanvin. I'm having 2nd thoughts since the H&M in DC will be opening at 8am tomorrow and I don't wake up at 8 for anyone. Last time I did that was for the Running of the Brides and that was a tremendous waste of time.

But I do have my eyes set on this skirt and that dress up top. The dresses are priced at 199 and 249. The skirt below is 59.95.
