The Versace for H&M collaboration was announced earlier this week, and here are a few images of what we can expect.  Think updated retro dresses and the luxury brand’s signature glamour.  These pretty prints and sexy cut-outs are due in stores and online in November.  Donatella also promises to deliver leather and studs in this collection in the video below.  There’s genuine excitement about this partnership that will bring both a men’s and women’s line.   

A second wave of Mulberry for Target bags are due to hit selected stores on November 14th, just in time for the Holidays.  You can choose between bold prints or classic velvet and patent.  The totes and satchels are the stand-outs in this collection, they have the signature silhouettes of original Mulberry at a budget friendly price-point.  A bag is a great holiday gift to yourself, and to the stylish ladies on your list.

We finally get to hear Alber Elbaz’, artistic director at Lanvin, approach to his Lanvin for H&M collection.  The designer shares his views on the collaboration, he sees it as H&M doing high-end goods instead of Lanvin doing a lower-priced line.  This statement is very insightful because he concisely states his approach to this venture; it states the cares and deliberation that went into each piece.  The video gives you a better look at the gorgeous dresses and accessories as well. 

New images from the Lanvin for H&M collaboration are here for your viewing pleasure.  The Fall/Winter 2010-2011  collection hits stores in the U.S. on November 20th.  We have a much better view of the gorgeous dresses that are coming to an H&M near you.  There are so many pretty party dresses in store, some with tulle and great texture and others in glorious colors and prints.  The accessories are equally impressive – shoes, necklaces and clutches in vibrant colors and prints cheerful enough to chase away the winter blues.  This collaboration is already proving to be a major success before its debut.

The second Lanvin for H&M ad has been leaked.  This time we’ve gotten glorious floral prints with beautiful draping and great shapes.  The leopard print accessories are equally desirable.  A short film on this collection debuts on November 2nd, and we can hardly wait. Expect a fashion show on November 18th at the Pierre Hotel in New York, and some of those looks will be auctioned online for the benefit of UNICEF.  Everyone wins with this much anticipated collection.  There are so many exciting activities leading up to its debut in stores on November 23rd.

Jean Paul Gaultier – Spring 2010

Jean Paul Gaultier’s venture into lingerie may have reached great heights with Madonna’s cone bras in the 1990′s, but he is making even greater strides with a new partnership with La Perla.  “In my latest prêt-à-porter collection I revisited the conical bras and corsets worn as outerwear,” says Gaultier. “This collaboration was a natural and logical step, especially since La Perla is the pearl of the lingerie, with the best savoir faire.”  We will get a sneak peek at two limited-edition pieces during his haute couture show on July 7th.  Look for a back-stitch strapless bra and a garter belt.  The collection will be available in stores in November.  Ladies, you can start hinting to your significant other about your Christmas gift.
