love this blue colour!

Marni for H&M

Months after its successful collaboration with Versace, H&M revealed they will be collaborating with Marni. This Italian label focuses on making clothes that has both a strong artistic and cultural underpinning, rather than focusing on sex appeal. Consuelo Castiglioni, the founder and designer of Marni, states that the collection will mainly include color blocking, print-on-print style, and will have both a mens and womens collection. I look forward to seeing more!

 

Versace for H&M LookBook

Just recently the full Versace collection for Swedish retailer H&M has been unveiled.

The collection is full of classic Versace prints and cuts, but also with some new additions.

For women, the main focus is dresses that have bold patterns (mostly Greek patterns), bright colours, and metallic accents. With menswear, the collection includes bright colours and patterns, but also sharp and sophisticated tailoring, as well as leather goods with gold and silver studs and zippers.
Furthermore, accessories include high top footwear, scarves, belts, and embellished beanies.

Personally, I never really was a big fan of Versace, but I really do love the boldness of this collection. I especially like the studded pants, shirts and accessories. Again, I'm on a big stud high and I really think I need a Versace studded leather jacket to quench my craving :)
