Fashion Star

Since Fashion Star's premiere on Tuesday night, people have been buzzing! This is the only fashion show that allows viewers to be able to purchase the pieces seen at the end of the show and in stores the next day! The judges panel consist of fabulous representatives from Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, and H&M! Did you miss the show? Here's your recap!

David Beckham Is In YOUR Bed This Valentine's Day!

...Well, sort of! If you get a piece of the David Beckham Bodywear collection, available now at H&M, then it's almost like having that amazing body with you on V-day, right?

Happy Valentine's Day Indeed!

Maybe not, but before you all go out and give it a shot, I recommend you take a look at the Merchandising Society review of the collection itself. I, Rony Patzan, went out to take a close look at the collection, the quality, construction, design, to see how it holds up against it's bodywear competitors. I'm happy to say some is great, and I did buy 8 pieces from the collection, but others are a bust you do not want your man encountering on Valentine's Day!

Marni for H&M!

The fashion world is very fast pace as you all probably know, so it's really no surprise that H&M is already planning for their Spring 2012 designer collaboration! Seems like only weeks ago we were drooling over Versace for H&M... oh wait that was!

H&M took to twitter to announce the big news of the collaboration this week on Monday! The tweet featured the hashtag #MarniatHM, and a video to give followers a fast of the action! They are so eager to show it and trust me I think we are all anxious to buy it!

Diary of a Versace for H&M Shopper

As we all know, this weekend The Very Best of Versace for H&M was released to the American public for sale, and people sure got "VERSASSE" ABOUT IT! (some of us are still recovering from the mayhem, myself included)

 The collection, spearheaded by Donatella Versace, was an homage to infamous brother Gianni Versace who was murdered in 1997, but who's colorful patterns changed the fashion scene forever.
Easily the most anticipated designer collaboration  of the past couple  years, we're happy to report The Society Editor, Rony Patzan, was on the scene the day of the madness all over Manhattan for the release of the collection. And this is the Diary of a Versace for H&M Shopper.
Asked about why NOW was the perfect time for Versace to go mass-market, this is what Donatella had to say, 

"Because of all the young people who have decided to wear Versace vintage. Lady Gaga, for instance. And there is also a lot of homage to Versace happening in fashion. It is a very attractive homage, but this is the real Versace, and I think they should wear the real one. This is fashion right now. It’s not about being the same. It’s not about being safe. It’s about daring, and it’s about making people dream, too. There are not many things to dream about in the world right now, but fashion is one of them."

I'm happy to report, I got my hands on some of the incredible pieces from the collection!

Shopping ECST-Etsy:

Well hello there and happy Thursday! Are you ready for another installment of Shopping Ecst-Etsy?! You better be because this week's post is mouth watering! In preparation for Versace for H&M (which launches on Saturday at 8 am!) we scoured Etsy for vintage and inspired Versace pieces! Snatch these up quickly, readers, who knows how fast it'll sell? ;)

Get the ball rollin' with this FAB vintage 1980's Gianni Versace belt! Inspired by Medusa and in green leather, this waist cincher is sure to stun (much like the mythical creature herself!). Buy it here.

Versace for H&M Collection

H&M has collaborated with some amazing designers in the past from Lavin to Jimmy Choo, but now H&M is welcoming another extraordinary brand to the pack: Versace! The collection features old archives to bring that classic Versace look to the forefront of the collection!

"The Collection for H&M is the essence of Versace. For the collaboration we've [pulled] from the archives--as well as from more recent collections--some of the icons of Versace such as the bright prints, the Greek key and daring cuts. I can't wait to see how H&M's wide audience will make these pieces their own." -  Donatella Versace

A Conscious Collection

With a focus on sustainability, H&M is launching Conscious Collection, a collection made from fabrics such as organic cotton, organic linen, Tencel and recycled polyester. The collection is a follow-up to last years A Garden Collection, and is directed in a minimalistic way with classic styles and a focus on white. So much is this a commitment to being green that even the accessories are made from recycled plastic!!

A classic white suit, perfect for any mans summer wardrobe. (MUST HAVE THIS!)

Looks for Men, Women, and Children will be in stores on April 14th, and the ad campaign is shot by Sölve Sundsbo, and features models Natasha Poly, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Ben Hill and Clément Chabernaud.

She is definitely dreaming of heaven with that background! And that dress!

The collection is a part of H&M's goal of using only sustainable fabrics in their clothing by 2020, a goal I think may companies can admire and use as inspiration for their own work.

M.S. Loves: Lanvin for H&M!

Now I know we are all dying for the Lanvin (Heart) H&M collaboration to be launched on SATURDAY (grab your plastic girls & boys) and tonight is the fashion show! Alber Elbaz will be showing tonight at the Pierre Hotel in Manhattan! He has personally selected 20 looks and transformed pieces from the collection into originals. I know I will be looking out for the pictures tomorrow. Here is a quote from Alber on the collection, and the original WWD article linked below:

"I don’t think you’re getting an expensive H&M [piece]; you’re getting a bargain of Lanvin.” - Alber Elbaz

I KNOW I'LL BE IN LINE! M.S. circle to keep each other warm? Comment below!

A screenshot from the H&M website on the collection, I LOVE LANVIN!
