A Diva State of Mind

H&M is at it again! After much success with the exclusive Lanvin Collection for H&M, the major retailer is teaming up with Versace for an exclusive collection made of 40 women’s pieces, 20 men’s pieces and a collection of high fashion accessories, all at H&M prices!

According to H&M Creative Advisor “Versace is one of the most important brands of recent times and their collection for H&M will be glamorous and extraordinary, everything Versace stands for. Versace is sharing with us iconic designs from the archives. This is such a celebratory collaboration and is perfect for the festive season.”

The collection will launch November 17th and will be available in 300 H&M stores. Versace is also launching a Pre-Spring 2012 collection, available January 19, 2012.

High end fashion at affordable prices available for the masses, LOVE IT!!! Check out a few looks and video of Donatella Versace and H&M Creative Advisor discussing the new collection below:

You already know the line outside a H&M store is going to be ridiculous once the collection is launched! I must admit, for this collection, I may be one of the many out there eagerly waiting for the doors to open on November 17th.  Who wants to join me?!

Designer collaborations are becoming very popular these days. One of the most memorable collaborations this year was the Lanvin for H&M Collection. That collection boosted H&M sales by 8%!!
 
With that type of success, I can understand why mainstream retailers and designers are joining forces. The next duo to release a collection is William Rast and Target. That’s right, William Rast, the clothing line started by Justin Target Timberlake and Trace Ayala in 2005, is teaming up with Target for an exclusive collection that will debut in Target stores December 19th through January 22, 2011; just in time for the holidays. Prices range from $17 to $200.
 
The collection is inspired by classic American style, featuring jeans, tees, button ups and a gorgeous camel leather jacket I think needs to be added to my wardrobe; I love the color!! 

Below are pictures from the lookbook; you can expect to see these items in stores this weekend!   
 

Will you be shopping at Target to get your hands on the new William Rast Collection? After all, I’m sure many of you will have Target gift cards you’ll need to use after December 25th!

This week fashion lovers flocked to the Pierre Hotel in New York City for an up-close look at the Lanvin for H&M Collection. 

The show looks like it was amazing (I’ll make it to New York for fashion shows one day!).  It was fun, flirty and eclectic.  Full with florals, animal prints and pearls, it definitely looks like high fashion!  What’s great is that H&M has brought high fashion to us all, so there isn’t any reason we can’t all look like a million bucks without actually spending that much.

Looks like I’ll have to take trips to H&M more often!  Check out pictures from the fashion show below. What are some of your favorite looks?
