"Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift. The camera really, really loves her. Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps!" - Donatella Versace

10. Versace for H&M madness
[Above: Who expected the global hysteria surrounding the debut collection of Versace for H&M? Ummm... everyone.]
Forget the Missoni for Target collaboration that famously crashed target.com... the craziest fashion collaboration of 2011 had to be the Versace for H&M extravaganza that hit stores on Saturday November 18th. After months of serious hype, Donatella's vintage Versace-inspired collection hit select H&M stores across the globe. Celebs wearing the most sought after pieces, overnight lineups, in-store madness and eBay markups followed. Viva Versace!
100 Unforgettable Dresses by Hal Rubenstein (fashion director of InStyle, as well as, one of its founding editors) is an incredible new book that takes the reader on a visual tour of some of the most memorable dresses in recent history. The 100 dresses that are featured in the book are part of fashion history and are beautifully presented along with Hal's insight into what inspired the design of each piece.
Here's a preview of 10 of the dresses that you can find within the pages of 100 Unforgettable Dresses.
Safety-Pin Gown
Gianni Versace · 1994
"... The truth is not a single screen performance is responsible for branding Elizabeth Hurley into our collective memory. And yet, she is emblazoned there, thanks to her having stepped out one night in the sartorial equivalent of the shot heard 'round the world. All it took was one dress ―"That Dress"― as it was tagged by the media the morning after Hurley's appearance at the world premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral in London. Upending her usual tabloid-captioned capacity as Hugh Grant's girlfriend, Hurley stepped out of a limo and into the paparazzi's viewfinders. ..."
Dreaming of a Dolce & Gabbana collaboration with H&M or Target collaboration? According to Domenico Dolce it's never going to happen. In a recent interview with WWD the designer insisted that the Italian design duo would not be following in the footsteps of designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Versace.
Stefano Gabbana: [laughs] I ask him if he goes to mass to design collections...
Domenico Dolce: It's classic elegance. Elegance is always beautiful, contemporary and timeless. It doesn't have to be about the latest trend, or from a signature brand. Its forever. Recently, it's all "trusciume" [in Sicilian, cheap, trashy] — there's no quality, these fast-fashion companies churning out looks. People thought it was cool, but it's cheap. You can't expect quality at 20 euros [$27]. It's like good codfish at 5 euros [$6.70] -- how can it be? But it's not a matter of price. Elegance is intellectual; it's about good taste, the cut, proportions, quality, how you carry yourself.
Looks like Dolce & Gabbana fans will have to keep saving up for the real thing.
Earlier this year Dolce & Gabbana announced that they were discontinuing their cheaper D&G line to concentrate on their namesake collection.

Following in the little footsteps of Gucci, Lanvin and Versace... Oscar de la Renta has announced that he is developing a luxury children's clothing line.
Aside from a licensing deal for childrenswear that Oscar de la Renta had more than 20 years ago, the designer has only dabbled in clothing for kids in recent years, designing one-off pieces for charities.
The famed American designer has hired Catherine Monteiro de Barros, founder of luxury children's line Papo d’Anjo, as his new vice president of design for children's line.
The Oscar de la Renta children's collection will be available for both girls and boys aged between 18 months and 14 years. Key pieces will appear in stores as early as spring/summer 2012, with a full fall/winter 2012 runway show to follow.
