Brad Pitt Wears Versace at Palm Springs Film Fest

In the occasion of the 23rd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala, Brad Pitt looked smashing in a black Versace suit from their 2012 collection. The 48-year-old actor was honored at the Gala with the Desert Palm Achievement Award in acting, for his work in both Moneyball and The Tree of Life. So why was Brad using a cane? He revealed to reporters that he injured himself when he wiped out on a ski slope while holding his daughter Vivienne. Angelina Jolie was wearing a billowy dress from Lebanese-born and Paris-and-Beirut based fashion designer Elie Saab, and Jimmy Choo shoes. Brad and Angelina continue to be the best dressed couple in Hollywood.


Abbey Lee Kershaw in Versace for H&M Cruise 2012

H&M’s new Cruise Collection designed by Italian fashion house Versace has been unveiled in a lookbook starring Abbey Lee Kershaw. It has everything from resort-wear to fruity-print robes, sandals and accessories. The new Versace collection follows on the success of the first such collaboration between H&M and Italy’s Versace, offering summery shades and bold prints.

The women’s collection is both light and feminine, with berries and butterfly prints on dresses, tops, negligees, dressing gowns and silk cashmere cardigans. The women can also flaunt white jeans, bikinis and summer accessories like charm bracelets, print bags, ballet flats and high heels.

The entire range is scheduled to be released on Jan. 19, and will be available as an H&M online exclusive.

“For autumn we have looked back at the Versace archives with the iconic collection for H&M, and now we are looking forward, with a first feeling for the new spring season. As well as holiday pieces, there is also everyday wear, with lots of denim and print, all of it with a spirit that’s classically Versace,” OK Magazine quoted Margareta van den Bosch, the Creative Advisor at H&M, as saying.


Versace Children’s Store in Milan

Italian fashion house, Versace, has opened the doors to its very first children’s store in Milan, Italy. The new children’s boutique is dedicated to the brand’s “Young Versace” collection that debuted at the Pitti Immagine Bimbo fashion show in Florence last June.

“This is a high-end, glamorous and colorful collection in line with the brand’s essence, with a touch of rock ‘n’ roll. Donatella Versace strongly supports and is behind the project, we have a state-of-the-art technological platform and supply chain, and we directly manage our core business,” said Gian Giacomo Ferraris, chief executive officer of Versace SpA.

The collection includes clothes and accessories for both girls and boys from infancy to age 12. The Milan boutique contains exclusive pieces from the Young Versace line, which was first shown at a special international children-wear exhibit in Florence earlier this year.


Abbey Lee Kershaw for Versace Yellow Diamond Fragrance

Versace has just launched Yellow Diamond, its latest fragrance offering. Billed as a “celebration of exquisite, timeless beauty,” the citron, pear sorbet, bergamot, orange blossom, mimosa, and amber woods eau is an homage to the rare gem of the same name and is housed in a glass flacon with a faceted, canary-tinged topper accordingly. Model Abbey Lee Kershaw plays muse to Donatella Versace in the perfume’s Mario Testino-lensed ad campaign.


Versace’s Cruise collection for H&M

There won’t be a pink carpet this time. Or a platinum-blonde, gold-studded-leather-trench-wearing fashion designer standing on it. But the launch of the second instalment of the Versace for H&M range, launching 19 January, is bound to do brisk trade nevertheless. It’s called the Versace’s Cruise collection for H&M, and these clothes are clearly designed for poolside posing; think gold sandals, bling hoop earrings with butterflies and lots of fruit prints. The men’s collection, sadly, rather lacks the punch of the first one, but there are shorts, swimmers and an erotic-thriller-friendly silky dressing gown with house Grecian motif for your consideration.
