Versace for H&M Cruise Lookbook

Sticking to everything Versace for H&M on the blog today and here are the official lookbook pictures for the collection.

I’m kind of liking all the fruit even though I’d probably look like a human slot machine wearing some of the designs!

Missoni for Havaiana

 

I’m ‘behaving’ on this week’s edition of “Confessions of a Shoe Addict” by going for the flattest sole I could find. Missoni’s collaboration with Havaianas means you need not be embarrassed with tacky flip-flops on the beach ever again!

Coming in both a zig-zag and wave multi-colour signature Missoni print, these will take you through the summer look effortlessly cool and as a Havaiana wearer, I can tell you, nothing is more comfortable!

Oh and as bonus – each pair comes in its own Missoni patterned drawstring shoe bag!

Available online now at Browns.

Versace For H&M

After weeks of speculation, it has finally been revealed that this year’s H&M collaboration with be with uber-designer Versace! I literally jumped out of bed when I got the press release this morning as I can remember growing up with both my mum and my dad huge fan’s of Gianni Versace’s work.

Following in the footsteps of Lanvin, Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Jimmy Choo (to name but a few), H&M have confirmed that Versace will be the next high fashion label to launch a capsule collection for the high street giant. Designed by creative director Donatella Versace – who gave the world a sneak peek of what’s in store by wearing one of her H&M designs to the Versace men’s show in Milan yesterday (see picture above) – the range will ‘take a look back at the heritage of the brand’, by which they mean the leather, loud prints, and riot of colour which made Versace a byword for glamour in its early ’90s heyday.

For H&M, Donatella Versace has looked back to the archives to reinterpret some classic Versace designs. The 40-piece womenswear collection will be dominated by dresses that fit right in with the spirit of the season, featuring studded leather, silk and colorful print, with accessories including high heels and costume jewellery. The 20-piece men’s collection will focus on sharp tailoring, including the perfect tuxedo, as well as belts and jewellery for men, too.

For the first time in a designer collaboration at H&M, the collection will consist of some homeware pieces, including cushions and a bedspread.
