Excess, luxe, in a word baroque. We all liked Balmain collection heavily covered with pearls. Luxurious, but also contemporary thanks to a western vibe. Those magnificent dresses required hundreds of hours to be made, each pearl has been sewed by expert hands. Don't worry there is a way to do it at home cutting down the time needed to embellish a cloth baroque style thanks to a simple trick, one of the diyers best friend: the ball chain. No bead stringing is needed and neither sewing pearls one by one. Ball chain can be cut anywhere just put it down your cloth and fasten it with a stitch every couple of beads or so and the result is a resistant decoration. If you have the beading foot for the sewing machine you can also sew the ball chain directly on the cloth with zig zag stich.

Versace 4 H&M: the full lookbook


The very best of Versace for H&M full lookbook is finally out and today we can make some considerations about the collection. When it comes to low cost chains collaborations with big brands the question is always the same: will the cloths be worth the price tag? 
Below I made a selection of my favorite pieces.

E' finalmente possibile sfogliare l'intero lookbook Versace per H&M ed oggi possiamo scambiarci le prime impressioni sulla collezione. Ogni volta che un grande brand collabora con catene di abbigliamento low cost la domanda che ci attanaglia è sempre la stessa: i capi saranno all'altezza del prezzo pagato?


Studs
Borchie



I put my eyes on this skirt and top since the very beginning. I hope they will be covered with real studs because looking at them closely now they seem to be made with sequin foil fabric where sequins are just dots printed on. The bracelet is my favorite piece of jewelry from the collection.

Ho inserito nella mia lista degli acquisti  top e gonna qui in alto già a Giugno quando sono state diffuse le prime foto. Spero siano coperte da vere borchie perchè in queste foto appaiono più stampate che borchiate.
Il braccialetto è dal mio punto di vista il pezzo più bello della collezione di gioielli.


I'm in love with every single piece of the items above . The black dress and jacket are in leather, the two colored dresses are made of silk.
Questi sono sicuramente i capi più belli ed anche i più costosi. L'abito nero e la giacca sono in pelle mentre gli abiti colorati sono in seta.

Here are the baroque printed pieces. The bomber jacket is really cool, its price is still unknown. I'm looking forward buying the skirt even if I would appreciate a jacket to match it. The one above is absolutely my favorite bag although the price tag is high.

Un altro classico Versace sono le stampe barocche. Sicuramente acquisterei la gonna anche se mi sarebbe piaciuta anche una giacca da abbinare; anche la borsa è bellissima anche se un po' cara.

perchè non acquistare anche la collezione uomo? Ecco una selezione di capi che potrebbero piacere anche a noi ragazze
Looking at June first pictures of the collection some clothes changed a bit
Riguardando le prime foto rilasciate in Giugno, alcuni capi hanno subito un restyling.

a couple of leather pieces have a few less studs (maybe because the price tag would have been to high?)
un paio di abiti hanno qualche borchia in meno (forse per un problema di costi?)
I would have bought with eye closed shoes at the right but the ones that will be available are slightly different.
Anche le scarpe sono leggermente diverse.

I like many pieces from the collection but since the prices aren't cheap I think that I'll decide what to buy once I'll be able to touch the quality with hand. What are your favorite pieces? Will you restist buying these pieces to save for one singol real Versace?

Concludendo direi che trovo belli diversi pezzi della collezione ma visto che i prezzi non sono bassissimi deciderò per l'acquisto una volta che avrò potuto toccare con mano i capi in negozio. Voi che ne pensate? Quali sono i vostri abiti preferiti? Eviterete di acquistare da H&M per risparmiare per un unico "vero" Versace?
