Ok, I must talk through this taboo of red carpet and shoes. First thing I need to put under your sight is this photo: Lana Del Rey, absolutely stunning, killing it in Berlin, looking like a goddess/botticelli butterfly however you want to call it, wearing flats. Yes you read it, flats. The point is she looks amazing. Definitely more elegant than so many red carpet looks I’ve seen lately. Actually we shall admit, the flatter the smarter your shoes. High heels probably give you the impression of being slimmer and taller and a bit higher in the sky, but who would actually wear them on the red carpet, during an event that will last long hours, and during which you’ll have to check your makeup-hair-dress-facial expressions the whole time while your feet terribly hurt? Noone. So, obviously girls that are not naturally very tall like me would always go in the end for heels because they’ll feel a bit special (=a little taller than usual), but in an ideal world, where everyone is the same height, and everyone could look good in every dress neverminding pedant fashion police judgements, I’d say a big fat YES, to flats.

Ok, sento il bisogno di parlarvi di questo tabu’ delle scarpe da red carpet. La prima cosa che devo mostrarvi a riguardo e’ questa foto: Lana Del Rey, abbaglia a Berlino con l’aria di una dea/farfalla botticelliana o come preferite chiamarla, con addosso delle ballerine. Si, avete letto bene, ballerine. Il punto e’ che, bisogna ammetterlo, risulta molto piu’ elegante di tanti look da red carpet che ho visto ultimamente. Insomma, ammettiamolo, in generale le scarpe piu’ sono basse, piu’ sono fini. I tacchi altri probabilmente vi danno l’impressione di risultare piu’ snelle e alte e di librarvi in aria un po’ piu’ in su del solito, ma chi effettivamente avrebbe voglia di indossarli sul tappeto rosso durante un evento che durera’ a lungo, e nel corso del quale dovrete controllare allo stesso tempo trucco-capelli-vestito-espressioni facciali tutto il tempo, mentre i vostri piedi urlano? Nessuno. Ecco, quindi, ovviamente le ragazze che come me non sono altissime di natura probabilmente alla fine sceglierebbero i tacchi per sentirsi un po’ piu’ speciali (= piu’ alte) del solito, ma in un mondo ideale dove ognuno e’ alto uguale e dove tutti stanno bene in qualsiasi abito senza curarsi di pedanti giudizi sulle regole da red carpet, io direi un bel grosso YES, alle ballerine.

Style Details: the eclectic jewellery and lose hair give the look a more contemporary feel.

Style Details: i gioielli eclettici  e i capelli sciolti donano un mood piu’ contemporaneo a tutto il look.

Here are some of the Versace for H&M looks:

And Here are my picks (note: I had to choose a few because I said picks, but I’d actually get the whole collection if I could, it’s incredibly good and recalling both the contemporary and the heritage Versace classics, from accessories to dresses):

Bags: from left £99.99 and £69.99

Accessories: from top, silk scarves £24.99 each, bracelet £12.99 and necklace £34.99

Clothing: from top, leather jacket £149.99, leggings £24.99, skirt £69.99 and faux fur waistcoat £39.99

Dresses in silk, from left £129.99 and £79.99

Then I chose two very Versace pieces: the black one (£79.99) is really Gianni, it reminds me of the black and gold buttoned and pinned pieces with a over the knees lenght wore by Linda and the supermodels of the 90’s. The yellow one (£129.99) reminds me more of the Donatella creations, especially for the short A-line and the bright lemon colour:

The black ones: the leather one (£179.99) is the iconic piece of this collection, also worn by Donatella in the previews, and the other one (£49.99) is a very versatile piece:

Shoes, £79.99:

I especially liked blazers (this one below is £99.99) for guys:

To see all the pieces and prizes of the Versace for H&M collection for men and women you can go to Vogue UK .

Also, if you have an account on Polyvore you can enter the contest “Your Very Best of Versace for H&M”: you can win a Versace for H&M Scarf and three complete looks. Yes, in case you are wondering, I am submitting entries like crazy, proof here.
