Versace has brought the 80′s back with a loud, vibrant, and undeniably bad ass rock n’ roll collaboration collection with H&M. On 11/9th I went with MaiSassyGirl to view the much anticipated collection and I was definitely not let down. Donatella revivies iconic Gianni Versace signature looks with Medusa logos on bags and bombers, bedazzled panther chokers, and tropical floral patterns on tight leggings and tunic tops. For men there were a hot-pink suit, studded tuxedo-style shorts and crocodile patterns on sweaters to wear if they dare.

I tried the orange dress, but I felt like a sequined tropical panther that did not need to be let out of it’s cage. The eclectic pieces felt bare on it’s own. I wanted to deck myself out from head to toe in print leggings and chunky jewelry to completely embrace the Donatella Versace glamour.

Although I could not pull off the sequined tropical panther look I did dig this cap with a more minimal statement

Viewing the collection up close made me rethink my party wardrobe and the limits I could go to. While Japanese love eclectic, they are not fond of showing too much skin. After trying on some pieces I fell in love with the this yellow studded mini, the  and the silver chain mail dress that shimmered like a disco ball.

While H&M will definitely start a shopping freinzy on November 19 when the collection is released in Tokyo there are many other pieces to the H&M Spring collection worth checking out. The colors are for this spring are flirty pastels or solid bold colors. 

Mark the launch date in your calendars boys and girls. On November 19th the Tokyo H&M stores in Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, as well as the newest H&M location in Osaka will not only have lines, but strict regulations. While this may not be the case in Tokyo British shoppers will need to queue in advance to receive wristbands that allow them a 15 minute shopping period. This strategy is of course to avoid confusion and to try to make it fair for all shoppers to enjoy this wonderful collection. Try doing your research by looking at the blogs, magazines, and the ads that have been all over before hitting the stores on Saturday!

 

I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I did!

XOXO,

Liv Lo

Vogue Fashions Night Out held on November 5th is an annual international shopping event held simultaneously in 17 countries or more. FNO is a global initiative aimed at “revitalizing the economy”. En lieu of this fashionable night out all the major fashion labels in the Omotesando and Harajuku shopping district provide champagne and apperitifs as customers flock to shop and possibly catch their favorite celebrities out shopping as well.

After interviewing for FOX Backstage Pass I changed from presenter to fashion model for Fendi. The Fendi yellow flowers were so beautiful it became our fashion accessory.

For my first shopping item I picked up the Silvana bag.It is the perfect F/W color and the shape for carries a lot and a little without looking bulky. I picked up the bag from the press room yesterday. I love the Fendi striped detail.

 

 

I also had my eye on this bag. The snake skin inner detail is to-die-for!

While in the store I met the always lovely Tominaga Ai wearing Fendi as well.

Fashion blogger Rumi Neely walked into the store, so we had a fun photo session.

Rumi is one the ten ultrabloggers who was flown to Japan to cover the Tokyo FNO fashion scene. She is of Japanese descent, living in L.A, and is perfectly friendly yet cool. Tokyo loves Rumi!

I also bumped into friend and blogger, Yusuke Takahashi, who was translating for Michael Kors’ during his stay.

The biggest Fendi store is located on 1-1-1 Minami Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo,  107-0062, Japan. Be sure to check them out.

After Fendi I went to Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Rag and Bone, Star Jewlery, and SJX to continue the bloc party…

Check the next FNO blog!

XOXO,
