Girl Panic Indeed....

"We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day"

Ahhh to be a supermodel, well a 90's supermodel that is. This famous quote from Linda Evangelista is unforgettable and really does define the era of the 'supers'.

Now Cindy,Naomi,Helena,Eva & Yasmin are back with an almighty bang to show their young counterparts just how powerful they once were. Each taking a part of 80's super group Duran Duran the girls writhe around hotel rooms and explain just what it's like to be part of such an iconic group, the group themselves meanwhile take place as hotel staff, drivers & paparazzi. The supers all play their roles supremely well, Yasmin herself jokes at one point "I am not a member of Duran Duran"

After watching the 9 minute video directed by Jonas Akerlund I feel a little nostalgic for an era I wasn't even born in. Duran Duran's sound mixed with the glamour of the supers and the opulent surroundings of London's Savoy hotel transports you back to a fabulous time.

With Balenciaga & Balmain thrown in, girl on girl action, lithe model after lithe model and copious amounts of champagne this video will definitely have a place in history.

Long Live the Supermodel.....

A little bit of Donatella......

In 2 days time H&M finally unveil their collaboration with Versace, but is the nation really ready for an army of mini Donatella's??

Apparently the answer is yes.

H&M have caused hysteria & mayhem in the past with their guest designer lines, who could forget Karl Largerfeld's collection selling out within an hour, but it seems Versace will triumph over this.

One thing you will need to shop the collection in store is stealth and possibly some kind of army training (I kid you not) a queuing system has been put in place with allocated wristbands and allotted time which can be spent in the collections area - I think I'll shop online thanks.

Now on to the actual collection - wild Hawaiian floral prints, sequins, studs, leather & lace the word FUN screams out in every way.

"I really wanted iconic moments of Versace,"

Versace for H&M silk dress, £79.99, Versace for H&M leggings, £24.99

Versace for H&M - Ring £19.99

 

Versace for H&M - Silk dress £129.99, Versace for H&M - Leather bag £99.99.

 Donatella has definitely succeeded in this, the wild vivid prints cannot be mistaken for anything other than Versace and the more muted items are adorned with the inconic medusa design and the famous gold buttons.  Versace claims she knows this customer and what they want.

 "The Versace for H&M collection makes me wish I was 20 again. It's so bold and youthful, exciting and sexy. Definitely one for the young, the beautiful and the brave."

 It's clear the collection has definitely taken inspiration from the late Gianni's early designs, and for many of the younger generation who aren't familar with the Versace legacy it seems collaborating with H&M was the perfect way to showcase his talent to a new and umfamilar generation.

Versace for H&M leather dress, £179.99, Versace for H&M - Suede boots £79.99

Versace for H&M - Bag £69.99.

 

Versace for H&M silver metallic dress, £149.99

 

Versace for H&M dress, £69.99

Versace for H&M leather jacket, £149.99, Silk top £39.99, silk skirt £69.99

Versace for H&M silk dress, £129.99

And so it begins.....

Well here I am again another year (ok the year is nearly over I know), another blog. I've failed miserably at blogging more times than I care to remember. See the thing is I get bored to easily I'm flighty, how very non commital.

I feel some blogs are a bit try to hard, in this day and age everyone and their grannies blog. Maybe that's where I was going wrong trying too hard so this time I shall do the opposite - not try very hard at all.
