As if it needed any help drawing a crowd, next Tuesday’s press preview of Versace‘s diffusion line for H&M will feature live performances from the artist currently known as Prince and the tranny usually known as Nicki Minaj.

The Purple One and the Pink One will add some extra color to the collection’s ultra bold and bright prints, much to Donatella Versace‘s sheer delight. “I am so pleased to share with so many the excitement of this collaboration with H&M,” shared the designer. “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.”

For those of us not invited to said press preview on November 8th — a-hem! — the Versace x H&M line launches worldwide November 19th. [WWD]
