Debuting in Milan during fashion week, Versace will be collaborating with retailer H+M to make the legions who follow both sexy beyond sexy this fall.

The trendy chain has announced that Donatella Versace herself has designed the exclusive collection for men, women and home for Autumn 2011.

“The exclusive collection will look back to the vibrant heritage of the brand, full of leather, print, color and exuberance in exclusive materials at fantastic H&M prices,” according to a press release.

Available Nov. 17th in selected stores and online!!

“Versace is one of the most important brands of recent times, and their collection for H&M will be glamorous and flamboyant – everything Versace stands for. Donatella Versace is sharing with us iconic designs from the archives. This is such a celebratory collaboration and it is perfect for the party season, ” Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M said in a statement.

For Versace, it’s a chance to introduce their high-end brand to shoppers who would normally not be able to afford to dress in the storied Italian house’s luxury designs. She reportedly rooted through the house’s archives for inspiration.

“I am thrilled to be collaborating with H&M and to have the opportunity of reaching their wide audience,” she said. “The collection will be quintessential Versace, perfect for H&M and Versace fans everywhere.”

Psst….just an observation: Check the ‘supermodel’ second from the left. Does she still have IT? Let’s discuss Alber’s obsession with older models. I can see a trend in the making. Let’s not forget that he hired Kristen McMenamy for last season’s campaign. She has a very interesting, somewhat androgynous look!
