Yes, You CAN Afford Versace!

Well, sort of.  Versace is the latest brand in a growing trend of high-fashion designers creating limited-edition, affordable lines for department stores.  {Remember the Giambattista Valli and Karl Lagerfeld lines at Macy's this fall?}.  Starting tomorrow, you can find Versace's limited-edition line for H&M at select stores.

As a fashion house, Versace is known for their bold, fashion-forward, sometimes avant-garde red-carpet gowns.  They incorporate rich color, luxe fabrics and unique detailing to make their pieces stand out.

 

Now, you probably don't have much need for a red-carpet-esque gown {or do you?}, but never fear.  The Versace for H&M line is full of everyday and special occasion items.  It's actually divided into no fewer than six unique collections ~ Stampa {bright colors and bold prints}; Baby Doll {flowy, above-the-knee dresses}; Bottoni Oro {structured dresses with almost futuristic detailing, especially at the neckline}; Frange {bold, flashy pieces, all bedecked with fringe}; Metal Mesh {metallic-colored dresses}, and Pelle Borchie {lots of gunmetal grey and black pieces, many with studded detail}.  Prices range from $29.95 for leggings to $299 for certain jackets and dresses, with many items falling in the $100-range.  On the pricier side for you? Perhaps there's an item you could include on your wish list to Santa...

Here are some of my favorite pieces from Versace for H&M {anyone who knows me will not be surprised that pretty much everything I picked is black}.
