Miu Miu parties in Barcelona

Following its recent opening in Madrid, Miu Miu has opened its first boutique in Barcelona, strengthening its presence in Spain! Miu Miu’s store in Paseo de Gracia of Barcelona is located in the heart of the luxury shopping area of the Catalan city.

The italian fashion house has found the perfect space, that spans over two levels, covering 400 square meters, and where you can find its ready-to-wear collection, shoes, accessories and bags.

Roberto Baciocchi is the architect responsible of the design of Miu Miu’s project in Barcelona. The products in the store are displayed like one-off pieces of fine jewellery! On the ground floor the shoes, the bags and the accessories are displayed giving the impression that everything is in a safety deposit box. And the first floor is dedicated on ready-to-wear and footwear in a amazingly elegant atmosphere.

The information of the new store can be found below:

Let the shopping begin!!!!

Versace for H&M

The date of launching the Versace for H&M is coming closer and Donatella reminded it to us by wearing a dress of the line at the end of the Versace men’s show in Milan Men’s Fashion Week!

The collection will be big and include two rollouts, one on November 17th including men’s, women’s and homeware, and another collection on January 19th. The line consists of “iconic” archive Versace pieces repurposed for H&M. What we will basically see is a lot of dresses, from silk, studded leather and colourful prints, high heels and costume jewellery. The men’s line will, apart of suits, include belts and jewellery. And the homeware pieces include cushions and bedlinen.

Let’s see the prices of the collection…and decide if we could buy anything!!! :)
