    When we think of Versace we think of couture. We think of cutting-edge design that costs us more than our annual paycheck. We think…H&M? That’s right: last night Donatella Versace unveiled her line of disposable affordable fashion for the retailer at Pier 57 in meatpacking district.

    Everyone who was anyone attended the fashion show, which included glitter, disco balls, leather bomber jackets, and something that was described by the Associated Press as an “animal-print-meets-tropical-sunset tank dress,” which is burning our brains with Miami fever just trying to consider what that might look like.

    Here’s what you missed from the show, if you weren’t lucky enough to snag a seat.

    Ms. Moretz is looking upset because she just found out she'll have to wait another seven years before legally being able to attend the after-party.

  • Back Forward Ke$ha

    Ke$ha

    We never thought we'd be calling someone in an all-leopard print pantsuit "subdued," but as there is no glitter being vomited out from any of her orifices, this is actually a mature look for the singer.

  • Back Forward Alan Cumming and Uma Thurman

    Mr. Cumming makes quite a nice palate cleanser from Ke$ha in his all-zebra print bodysuit. Classic styles.
