Versace for H&M shows up on eBay a week before it launches in-store | Hollywood yohana




While not-yet-released Versace for H&M wares showed up on Chinese e-tail sites a few days ago, a more trustworthy option has now surfaced for the fast-fashion fans who just can’t wait to get their hands on the collection. With over a week to go until the Donatella-designed pieces are officially available, select styles and sizes of the coveted wares have been popping up on eBay—and with the majority of sellers living in New York City, the main culprits are Tuesday night’s party goers who are selling off their swag-bag items.
The launch party was the only time clothing and accessories from the collection have been available so far, and the gift bags and purchasable items from the party quickly appeared online, marked up by almost 50 percent. While there hasn’t been much bidding action yet, there are still a few days remaining. We can’t wait to see how much the already-popular floral pleated dress is going to sell for—but with the current bid at US$159 we’re sure it will skyrocket.

THEY SAID…
The Cut: “It’s perhaps more of a problem that fashion folk don’t like the line enough to keep the clothes for themselves, but surely any real demand for the pieces online will be reflected in store sales next week too.”
The Cut: “Of course, they’re set to sell for far more than they will in H&M stores — most starting prices have a 30 to 40 percent markup from the figures H&M lists online.”
Fashionista: “Here’s a wonderful opportunity to pay significantly more money than you need to for Versace x H&M pieces. Pay $349 for a dress you might have purchased for $200 less.”
WE SAID…
Jordan Porter, fashion market editor: “Tsk Tsk! Selling swag is a fashion editor no-no and grounds for getting the haute heave-ho.”

After rolling through Halifax and Edmonton, Mercedes-Benz Start Up will be pulling up to Quebec City this month in search of the city’s newest crop of design talent.
Though there can only be one winner at the end of the design initiative’s run, if last year’s cycle was anything to go off of, it’s a win-win for everyone in the running.
The initiative, which is in its second year, is aimed at finding Canada’s brightest emerging talent, fostering and mentoring their design skills and giving them a unique opportunity to gain some national exposure.

By partnering up with FDCC and the folks here at FASHION Magazine, designers in the running will have unique avenues of support and mentorship to tap into, not to mention a pretty A-list lineup of new contacts.
After Start Up wraps up in Quebec City early next month, the initiative will head to Ottawa in July to uncover what our country’s capital has to offer. Each city holds a separate semi-final runway show for its top five designers and the four semi-finalists from each city will then compete for the big win later this summer.
The coveted win includes a show at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto, an editorial in FASHION and continued mentorship as they prep their work for the runway.
If you think you’ve got the design chops and are in the Quebec City or Ottawa area for the initiative’s judgment dates, then you can download an application from Mercedes-Benz Start Up’s homepage!
