VERSACE MENSWEAR SPRING SUMMER 2014

January 23, 2014 Fashion, Hot Spots, LUXURY & FASHION

Athleticism, idealism, discipline, freedom: these are the powerful attributes of the Versace man.

The proud athleticism of the body, with sports tape worn as if a new tattoo, a decoration which appears as a detail on garments.

A neat and precise silhouette with light, luxurious tailoring cut from iridescent silk mohair and silk wool, framing the body at its finest.

The idealism of Versace iconography, remixed for today and tomorrow, like gold-studded leather jackets, baroque and optical print shirts, and gold Medusa-studded gladiator sandals.

The precision and discipline of military life, with washed fabrics and faded creamy tones, as if left out in the sun.

The freedom of extravagant prints, such as knitwear featuring the photographs of Marilyn Monroe by Bert Stern, the images colour-blocked and overpainted by hand.

Footwear is both smart and soft, with slip-on shoes in soft leather that can be worn with the back trodden down.

“The Versace man is powerful in so many different ways. There is the strength of the athletic body, the force of tailoring, power of decoration, and the timelessness of Versace’s iconography, now and forever.” Donatella Versace
