H&M Announces Versace Collaboration

Fresh from Versace's spring 2012 menswear show, which was bursting with sexy, embellished, ornate, and flashy references from the house's own vaults, the glamorous creature that is Donatella Versace has revealed that she is pairing up with Swedish company H&M for the retailer's annual high-end collaboration. While Donatella maintains that she avoids looking to the past and instead focuses on the future, she must be in a nostalgic mood of late, seeing as the H&M collection will also be inspired by iconic Versace pieces from the luxury label's archives. That should means you should expect lots of sexy, slick and Baroque offerings, since we all know that Gianni was never one for minimalism -- he and his label have created a legacy of unapologetic glitz, and Donatella has carried on that legacy fearlessly. Check out the video below for more on the collaboration -- which will feature menswear, womenswear, accessories and homewares -- hitting stores in November of this year.
