Hi Everyone,
Versace
x H&M appears to have been a success with the website crashing, people queuing
overnight across the globe, additional security and photos of empty shelves
being posted online.
The marketing has been in overdrive for a while with the multi-coloured
animal print images adorning London Underground and H&M stores with media
coverage helping to increase the buzz. But what has the partnership achieved?

The
collection had been previewed and the vibrant colours and loud patterns will
certainly brighten up the winter wardrobes. In all honesty the woman’s
collection appears much more wearable than the men’s but the tie-in with a high
street chain means that the collections get less opportunity to be ‘diluted’
from the catwalk creations.

The result is that styles are being introduced that
are slightly more extravagant/fun but in the era of Lady Gaga creations being
slapped across all media what was once considered ostentatious seems relatively
mundane. It is also good to see another top fashion icon reaching out to a new audience
as opposed to a minor celebrity endorsed range of clothing (The Amy Childs Collection??)
Kudos
goes to all involved as the partnership has only created winners, Versace and
H&M have an increase in media exposure and sales and the customers are
introduced to reasonably priced designer garments.
Best get down to the store and see what's left!
