Originally I did mark this date in my phone calendar, when Versace for H&M went live in stores. To my dismay I found out that this collection wasn't coming to every H&M. As I was planning to go a que outside the H&M nearest me which would be the Touchwood, Solihull store. Due to much laziness I did not want to endure the masses of people in the Bull Ring I did miss this wonderful event, but as now I have seen the collection, was it a great loss me missing the opening?
At the time I did think maybe it would be just nice to purchase something small, like one of the cuffs or necklaces, as I was far too broke to buy the wonderful studded splendour of a jacket.
Looking around the very few people that have purchased pieces from the collection happen to be male!
"The men's wear collection was extremely well-received by customers and most of the collection for men is already sold out," a spokesperson told us this morning. "In womenswear all leather jackets and the leather dress; all studded and chainmail dresses; the black dresses with the gold buttons, both the strappy and cap sleeve versions; and most of the jewellery, scarves and bags have also sold out." (Vogue.com November 18).
Versace is not particularly my style but a selection of the statement pieces are quite something and being affordable to the every day working class joe, I am very much in favour of. As fashion is so very highly priced right now it's wonderful that everyone can have a designer piece.
The second collection available only online on January 19th will be something to look forward to as there will be no need for an uncomfortable bus journey, barging through endless amounts of people and waiting out in the cold. I can browse through the collection in the comfort of my own home. Bliss.
