>> While Stella McCartney is continuing to show her collection in Paris for Fall 2012, she's also planning on unveiling a one-off capsule collection with a presentation during the upcoming London Fashion Week in February. McCartney, who is the creative director for Adidas Team GB (and therefore created the uniforms for Britain's Olympic athletes), has designed the collection — which will be available in May — as a nod to the 2012 London Olympic games.

McQ is also joining McCartney on the London Fashion Week schedule in February, where its Fall 2012 collection will be presented with a catwalk show, as a preview to its first stand-alone store opening in London's Mayfair next Spring.

Versace for H&M Pre-Spring 2012

>> On the heels of the throwback shimmery, animal-printed Holiday 2011 collection, Versace for H&M is back for another round. Donatella Versace also developed a Pre-Spring 2012 collection for H&M — complete with fruit prints — that will be available exclusively in countries with H&M online sales (currently only Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway) from Jan. 19. As for US citizens — since H&M isn't launching an online shop in the US until Fall 2012 — the best source for nabbing the collection will likely be eBay.

>> Snejana Onopka, 24, married 29-year-old businessman Mykola Schura from Donetsk, Ukraine, in Kiev on Nov. 15. The bride wore a Vera Wang dress she purchased in Kiev in front of less than 40 guests. "It was very traditional," Onopka said of the ceremony, to which she arrived in a black Bentley. "I've never been to weddings. This is the first wedding I attended, and it's mine!" See a video of the ceremony — where Onopka admits she "almost cried" — and more pictures at the link. [Jetsetter.ua]
