Hi There Everyone!

Hope you are having a fabulous Tuesday! After Sunday night’s VMAs, there has been a buzz about not only Miley Cyrus’ umm….performance?, but also the fashion! Black, white, lace, and sheer panels seemed to be all the rage with a mix of daring and demure! Personally, I thought Ariana Grande’s dress was adorable, but there Kenley Collins goes again copying other designers. It looked quite reminiscent of Lucy Liu’s Carolina Herrera dress at the Golden Globes. Selena Gomez was rocking her Versace, T-Swift looked elegant in Herve Leger, and Naya Rivera looked stunning as well. The memo seemed to have read: sleek. Stars who dropped the ball? Katy Perry, whose grill left something to be desired, Miley who left the audience not-so-smiley, and Lil’ Kim just to name a few. Who were your fashion faves and fashion fails?

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!

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
