Versace for H&M Collection Not For "Real Women"

Posted by kgranero 11:41am GMT

Versace creative director Donatella Versace, shown above with Nicki Minaj at the Versace for H&M Launch Party in New York, has recently come under fire for reportedly dismissing the proposal of an ad campaign featuring "real women" size 0-6.

While the term "less is more" certainly applies to the runway model sect (magazines have become a little more forgiving over the past few years), news of Donatella's recent insinuations is hitting a nerve because the reason designer collaborations are so popular is because they allow the average Jane (small salary, curves and all) to indulge.

What do you think about Donatella's body-conscious business move? Weigh in below!

Versace to Design Fall Collection for H&M

Posted by babu 12:17pm GMT

Brace yourselves!

H&M recently announced its fall 2011 designer collaboration will be with legendary Italian fashion label Versace.

Designed by Versace creative director Donatella Versace, the exclusive collection will include lines for both men and women and will recall the vibrant heritage of the brand. The women's collection will be dominated by dresses featuring studded leather, silk and colorful prints, along with accessories including high heels and costume jewelry, each at an affordable price point.

"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.

Versace is the latest couture house to collaborate with H&M on an exclusive designer collection (past partnerships include Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Comme des Garçons, Roberto Cavalli, Jimmy Choo and, most recently, Lanvin).

The Versace for H&M collection will be available in about 300 select H&M stores worldwide as of November 19, 2011. Donatella Versace has also designed a pre-spring collection for H&M which will be exclusively available in countries with online sales beginning January 19.
