Versace for H&M

Who would actually think that 2011 was going to be the year where haute-couture would end up “downgrading” to low-cost wear. Since June 2011, H&M and Versace have come together to create a different line, somewhere in between low-cost and luxury. The Italian designer company did design a line for the Fall/Winter season and very soon will be delivering the Spring/Summer collection. It was catwalked a couple of weeks ago in New York.

Citrus colours, whites, leathers all in vintage and 60’s-like dresses and suits will be the new trend-setting collection that the two fashion giants will put together.

Watch a few of the designs here.

…and the denim shirt wins again as autumn/fall season favourite

It is the one piece of garment that season after season has stood its ground, or rather its place in the closet, as a must-wear favourite every autumn/fall.
The 2011 autumn/fall season wasn’t going to be any different. The denim shirt has resisted its presence in time thanks to the army of celebrities that resort to it every season.
Comfortable, durable and sexy, the denim shirt has it all. Easily combinable with shorts, skirts and even dresses, the denim shirt is an easy going, any-time-of-day-or-night apparel.
Take yours and put it on. Send us your picture with your denim shirt (preferably on you).

Hunter, fashion boots

Hunter boots have become an icon in today’s fashion scene. Once used for the adversities soldiers faced in WWI and II, these boots have been worn by Monarchs and aristocrats of the late 19th century until today’s fashion reps and celebrities.

Hunter boots, generally known as wellies, have seen an increase in their range and target consumers, but always staying true to their origins, making sturdy boots for everyone who works hard and plays hard.

Last September Hunter unveiled the A(F)/W 2011 campaign, “Styled by”, where many fashion veterans and experts have contributed to make this iconic footwear brand more legendary than ever.
