The sexy bold looks from Versace’s Fall 2012 collection are photographed by Mert & Marcus in this black and white campaign.

I do wish the campaign was in colour, I mean isn’t Versace known for their crazy colours and vivid prints? Takes away from the clothes I find!

Collection | Atelier Versace Spring 2012
Paris Haute Couture kicked off to a good start with Atelier Versace setting the stage with it’s signature body hugging silhouettes. Marking it’s return to the runway since 2004, Atelier Versace’s classic aesthetic was well received. Metallic detailing, jewel tones, long sultry elegance and lace, I mean, what’s not to like?!
That hair was the cherry on top - such a classic and simple hairstyle that doesn’t take away from the gowns!
I can’t stand Lindsey Wixson’s pose here, I don’t know everyone’s fascination with her face…I mean it’s so…round.

Collection | Versace Man F/W 12/13
Aviation, a reformed militia and inspiration from pop icons were trends from Versace Man’s Fall 2012 collection. Donatella Versace’s army of paratroopers and pilots dressed in vibrant camouflage prints and bomber-style jackets channeled the chic and regal looks of heroes long ago. Denim saw it’s entity transformed with gold chain details, fit for any pop performer, or me!
Hues of red in suiting and classic pieces and psychedelic prints in jumpsuits added Versace’s classic take on Miami’s vibrant nightlife. A nightlife that Gianni brought forth to the public. So eye-popping! And, can we talk about evening wear please?! Velvet, sparkle and a whole lot of guts needed for any man to wear the pieces. Obsessed with the last look!
Fashion News | Versace Opens Young Versace Boutique
I swear Fashionights is starting to look like an entire plug for everything Versace, I swear they’re not paying me, yet.
In more Versace news, the Italian house has opened it’s first luxury children’s boutique! Located next to the Versace Home boutique, on the ground floor of the brand’s headquarters on Via Borgospesso, the one-story, 538-square-foot space is decorated with lilac and white walls and Versace’s Medusa head plastered through out!
Typical ostentatious, opulent and border line unnecessary Versace style! My favourite!

Shopping | My Versace For H&M Experience
As all of you know, Versace for H&M launched a couple days ago on Saturday November 19th (which is pretty much sold-out at most locations) and many of you have asked, Tweeted and emailed me asking what I bought and how it went down.
I’ve been one to never like fast-fashion and the luxuries that the High Street provides the mass public is lack-lustre collections and nothing short of dismal quality - but when I visited the H&M showroom here in Toronto for the S/S 2012 preview I was a receptive to that I was taking in.
In turn, I was surprisingly pleased with what Versace and H&M put together for the highly anticipated collection. So I decided that I’d go down to the big and knowing that Eaton Centre and Bloor street location would be a total mad house, I opted to head to the Yorkdale Mall location.
I arrived at around 6:30 in the morning (stores opened at 8) to find out I was only one of the first 150 people in line. Totally scored, because many camped out the day before at the downtown locations! Security escorted us into the mall and wait time in line wasn’t so painful, Nick Sean ended calling me because he saw all my tweets so it turned into a shopping date!!
