21st Century Versace – new ease, rock energy, effortless luxury.
The richness of Versace meets the attitude of the street, creating a fresh reality for day,
and a powerful statement at night. Denim and leather jackets are the new blazer, while raffia skirts have liberating volume. Bands of elastic create structure in skirts, and cling to the body in shorts and tops. Cutaway waistcoats give freedom and a looser contrast.
The T-shirt is redefined as a luxury item, especially in Versace floral prints. Heavy metal Tshirt prints imagine that Versace is on its 2014 world tour. The Versace hook-and-eye fastens blousons, and provocatively holds together slashes in jackets and dresses that reveal the body beneath. Triangles of metal mesh give the effect of bandanas at the neck. There’s also a metal mesh T-shirt dress, and metal mesh falls from a gown like a scarf. Chain Medusa harnesses are the new accessory for day, and toughen up tulle dresses for night. A new bag – The Palazzo – is totally unstructured, and can be rolled up and held in the hand. Platform sandals have bands of elastic as straps.
“I wanted everything to be effortless, with the attitude of the street. This is a real woman. A luxury woman. A Versace woman.” Donatella Versace
