COMBAT ROCK
For Spring/Summer 2013 the Versace man is a tough pugilist champion at the top of his game. Part Rocky, part Elvis and part Mr. T, the look combines heavyweight jewellery and featherweight filigree, iridescent parkas that double for ringside robes, and punchy pastels. This is a celebration of man as modern-day gladiator. And he’s not afraid to make an entrance.
Round 1: This season marks the launch of the new Versace Underwear and Versace Swimwear collections.
Round 2: For tailoring, the House continues to build on an imposing V-shaped silhouette, with slim hips and a powerful shoulder line. In a sexy twist, jackets are often shown sleeveless.
Round 3: The collection is infused with lightness, luminosity and fluidity in both colour and fabrics. A graphic floral print with abstract shapes is used on denim, full-leg shorts, jersey-silk blousons and silk voile shirts.
Round 4: Beautifully made eveningwear features decorative broderie Anglaise effects that enhance its elegance and make it distinctive and memorable.
