I guess you could say the new Versace for H&M line got life-hacked. Coinciding with last night’s release event (video coverage after the jump), apparently the entire collection is already available (ten days early) from a Chinese retailer through an online mall called Germany Street.
Still inconclusive as to how this retailer got his or her hands on the line ahead of the release date, we could speculate that it’s all part of the plan. Who knows? But those who were desperately counting down are no doubt clamoring for these reasonably-priced pieces likely to be scarce in the near future. I say reasonably-priced; those prices are in Chinese yuan, so the pieces are retailing a few percent higher on the Chinese market than they will on release day, but surely not enough to hamper sales.
Do you like the Versace for H&M line? Is the collection worth the commotion to you?

Dang that was fast! Wonder if this was a slip up with the factory?
I have to admit I wasn’t crazy about the early looks I saw from this line, but the looks featured on the first image actually seem more wearable than anything I’ve already seen.
I’m sure we’ll be seeing some fierce bargain, fashionistas sporting these looks around NYC.

i frekain love this line and have been waiting for it to hit US stores
but… i probably wont buy seeing as how empty my wallet is haha
i think the same reason why people think it looks like cheap crap/tacky is exactly why i like it, just different ways of perceiving it
i LOVE the studding, i’m currently undertaking a DIY studding project and it’s so much fun
and i like that it’s so incredibly bold compared to the more simple designs HM usually offers, no that there’s anything wrong with bold! It’s rather chic, if you style it well

This site says you can order the VERSACE for H&M products only in advance, while the shipping for this kind of order usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, so this post’s title is incorrect.
Since this collection is to be released on the 17th of this month, everything is fine and everyone happy again
