Versace for H&M.

So on the Versace for H&M update, It was launched this morning across Europe and China. 24 hour queues, crazy fans, overload of traffic and crashing of the website weren't much of a surprise.

According to reports, fights broke outside the H&M store in Shanghai.

The scenario was pretty much the same in London's Regent Street, where the dedicated fans were greeted by Dontella Versace herself, looking all bright and cheery in a £199 pink leather studded dress and a leather jacket, both from the collection.

Within moments, the store was empty as happy shoppers marched away with their wins.

Most items are already available on Ebay and other auctioning sites which probably explains the overbearing crowd.

Personally, I am not a huge fan of the collection. As much as I like the theme, it is too bold and blingy for my taste. However, there are a few pieces that caught my eye.

Among other things, it was rather disappointing when Versace said no to the real sized models and chose the regular one's instead. I, somehow, expected her to promote the average sized woman through her collection.
