The hype around the launch of Versace's much-anticipated line for H&M continues to build, with a launch party scheduled that includes an over-the-top fashion show and an starry musical performance.

The collection doesn't hit stores until November 17, but there is a spectacular party and fashion show planned for next Tuesday, November 8, in New York. What's more, WWD has learned that Nicki Minaj and none other than the legendary Prince will perform at a special concert after the show.

“I am so pleased to share with so many the excitement of this collaboration with H&M,” said Donatella Versace. “To have my friend, the great, the amazing, the one and only Prince, and the extraordinary Nicki Minaj both perform at the event, will create exactly the feeling of joy and glamour I want this partnership to express.”

Needless to say, the show will likely prove to be one seriously hot ticket among the city's fashion insiders, and we can't wait to see the Prince in layers upon layers of Versace prints and studs.
