I'm up early, I'm and dressed for war! Like a million other girls around the Globe I'm waiting with baited breath for the launch of Versace for H&M. To get my hands on a tiny piece of Fashion History and to douse myself in Italian glamour (i hope). Except.... It doesn't quite run a smoothly as that; instead of waltzing home with leopard print bags laden with tropical silk and aztec stud leather, i arrive late, traipsing home sulking and empty handed, the only possibility left trawling eBay in the vain hope of a size 6 bargain.
Reports in the papers and Fashion journals suggest that the entire in store collections have sold out within the first 24 hours so at least i have some consolation i may not be the only broken chain mail hearted girl out there. Initially i wasn't keen on the collaboration (just down to personal taste) but the more i looked at it i just felt like i had to have a piece- its the only way that i could ever afford Versace and that leather dress would be just perfect for christmas parties!
Donatella Versace, questionable dye job aside, is a babe, fact. She has designed some of the most powerful and alluring clothing for the worlds biggest icons, become an icon in her own right and cemented her name as a powerful fashion force. She has designed clothing, jewellery and footwear, all of which celebrate the female figure, and for that she should be celebrated! Which isn't to say that Menswear dissapoints- actually selling quicker than the womenswear line- featuring Hawaiian prints, pink, and lots of leather. This is one collaboration which has lived up to all its hype.
Still, i hold out hope, with a 7 day return policy and a beady eye, surely i can still snare the OTT dress of my dreams?
