Donatella Versace took to the ocean to inspire her Spring 2012 collection, painting seashells, starfish, seahorses, and fish on a series of dresses and chic separates.
Blacks and whites set the foundation, as muted blues, purples, greens, and yellows played on seaworthy patterns.
Stud embellishments brought select garments to life, either dotting bodices or peppering waistbands.
Accessories included funky studded handbags and signature platform sandals decorated with sea creatures:
Certified Versace fan Nicki Minaj will love those.
The collection was definitely restrained for Versace, but there’s beauty in simplicity. I would wear any of the abbreviated cocktails in a quick second.
What do you think?

Donatella still holds it down for her brother (God Rest His Soul)…I know he is proud.
I LOVE all the dresses but that baby blue dress…oh…its to die for

Strippers have RUINED clear heels for me but I’m still drooling over the shoes in this collection.
September 26, 2011 10:11 am
Love this collection! I adore the stud detailing on the white and pastel/sorbet hues. Absolutely gorgeous!
September 26, 2011 10:32 am
Everything..And it could b worn by pretty much everyone..
September 26, 2011 11:17 am
The skirts & jackets, Yes.
September 26, 2011 11:37 am
I love this entire collection….Hot!
September 26, 2011 11:46 am
A lot of great pieces… those shoes though? I get high heels, but those are hooker heels. HOOKER HEELS. If someone slaps a name brand on it all of a sudden it’s high fashion. SMH.
September 26, 2011 11:54 am
Oh I’m in love.
September 26, 2011 11:58 am
LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!
September 26, 2011 2:10 pm
This and the D&G Collections are my favorite….with Cavalli in third. I love the shoes, studs, separates and the blue dress. Oh, who am I kidding I love all of it!
September 26, 2011 2:22 pm
I can def see Eva Pigford and Nicki Minaj in those shoes…. the entire collection is so hot but yet simple, surely “rock-able” by the everyday woman. Kudos to Donatella!
September 26, 2011 3:13 pm
Loves it! Usually versace does a little too much for my preference, but this was simple with just the right amount of extra! I do wonder if it’s too ready to wear for the Versace stans though….
September 26, 2011 3:22 pm
those shoes are to live and die for!
September 26, 2011 7:40 pm
Coveted! If I were able to get my hands on Jennifer Lopez, I would put her #10 look, it looks so much like her style. Rihanna in the #1 look and Katie Holmes in the #3 look.
Those heels can come into my closet, love.

Since I have a strange love for sea horses I’m loving this collection! Please send the sea horse wedges, the first fit and the white stud embellished dress asap!
September 28, 2011 9:00 pm
LOVE EVERYTHING!!!! love the fact that all the models dont look sickly skinny.
