Versace For H&M Mania Strikes!
With Versace for H&M landing in H&M high street fashion stores this morning, we never expected anything less than mega queues, a major stampede and hoardes of sharpened elbows, but we’ve got to say the shopping scenario at London’s Regent Street store looks rather civilised! As Versace die-hards made a beeline for their must-haves, Donatella Versace herself dropped in for a bit of scarf signing – wearing two of the high street fashion collection’s fiercest pieces, natch – and left clutching a bulging blinged up shopping bag. Surely you’ve got the whole lot taking up some serious closet space already Ms V? On another note, there’s already a whopping seven pages worth of Versace for H&M on eBay, so we suspect some shoppers were up bright and early purely to make a packet. Back off and leave it for the real fashion fans, people! GG

Love It! Versace For H&M’s Totally Tropical Launch Party
With the Versace catwalks always such a fabulously OTT glamour fest, we knew there was no way the label’s launch party for their upcoming H&M hook-up was going to be a subtle affair. To celebrate what is possibly the best high street/designer collaboration EVER, Donatalla Versace rounded up a whole host of A-list ladies and gentleman to party on a pier on New York’s Hudson River. After a catwalk preview of the killer collection, celebs including Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, Chloe Moretz and Selma Blair were treated to performances from a green haired Nicki Minaj and the one and only Prince!
Emma Roberts and Chloe Moretz both debuted designs from the range, Emma going for a print double whammy in the oriental floral bustier and matching trousers, and Chloe in the could-be-catwalk yellow embellished dress. Blake Lively worked a subtler look in a monochrome mini with just a smattering of signature Versace bling, while Nicki Minaj looked like she was vying for the role of Versace for H&M poster girl, posing with Donatella in a technicolour combo, popping platforms and flower adorned hair. Looking at this lot has got us on the edge of our seats for the UK launch on 17th November '11. Wonder what Donatella’s got planned for our side of the pond… we await our invites with baited breath Ms Versace. GG
