Chinese website offers Versace for H & M pre-launch

Anxious to get your hands on a piece of the Versace for H&M collection? A Chinese website called Taobao.com seems to have the entire collection on sale. What up with that? The official collection launch  is not due at H&M stores until Nov. 19th, but somehow these are being sold in China as “German Limited Edition”  Versace for H & M  pieces.  Fashionista.com received a tip about the site, which then tipped me off that this was online.  I have looked at the pieces, but it’s impossible to verify if they are real or counterfeit as the site uses the same images as the H&M Look book for Versace.  An English translated version of the site called TaobaoSeek.com has the Versace pieces listed for sale by individual sellers, almost like eBay does.  The black dress (see above) that I wanted from the collection is selling on TaoboSeek for $318.00 US, a steep mark-up from the H&M price.   The whole thing looks a bit shady to me.  What do you think readers? Would you be tempted to order in advance and take a risk on these pieces being authentic? We know that Versace for H&M is sure to be a sellout within 15 minutes of the store openings on the 19th. Who is ready to camp out?
