Style trends: Vintage Versace

It's the most talked about collaboration of the year and to say the fashion world has gone into a leopard print, studded, pink leather jacketed meltdown over the H&M/Versace hook-up is a total understatement.

While style mavens waited impatiently for today's global launch of the collection the vintage Versace look has never been more worn or wanted and the Italian mega-brand's signature prints and sexy silhouettes have never been hotter. Paying homage to the unbridled decadence of the House of Versace, the A/W11 catwalks were awash with flamboyant baroque prints and lavish detailing, all referencing the glamour and genius of Versace's founder, Gianni. And while the runways harked back to the Italian legend's work, so too has the high street. Mixing leopard, floral and palm tree prints with big cats, studs, and chains, celebrating the 90s heyday of the infamous Italian fashion house has never been more now. And with party season fast approaching, if vintage Versace makes your heart flutter, but the price tag gives you palpitations, hit the high street for knockout knock-offs that will ensure you have the most sizzlingly stylish soirée-fest ever. Ciao, Bella!
