H&M appears to be going from strength to strength. After last year’s high profile collaboration with Lanvin, the Swedish retailer has announced its next diffusion line will be a partnership with Versace.
Fashion houses don’t come much bigger than the Donatella Versace helmed Italian juggernaut, and the thought of nabbing these designs at bargain basement prices should be enough to make any fashion fan salivate.
It sounds like there’ll be plenty of those designs to go around too, with 40 women’s pieces, 20 men’s pieces, and a slew of accessories in the pipeline. While we wouldn’t expect luxury to the level of the legendary fashion house’s signature collection, we will still see some real leather, on trend metal hardware, and stylish prints.
Donatella Versace says she’s “thrilled” about the collaboration, and the opportunity to reach the retailer’s wide audience. And it seems the admiration is mutual. H&M’s creative adviser Margareta van den Bosch called Versace “one of the most important brands of recent times.” She added that the H&M collaboration will be every bit as “glamorous and extraordinary” as we’d expect from Versace. It’ll just cost a lot, lot less.
Look for the Versace by H&M collection in around 300 American H&M stores from November 19.
