I suppose the line can be referred to as a veritable house, as it’s been around for almost three decades. Not once has it lost the passionate, brave, and sultry air that is so intrinsic to Donatella’s character.
That trademark utilitarian touch was explored with leather sleeveless anoraks, wind flap-accented jackets, loads of pockets accented by edgy zippers, and a slew of functional, yet exciting trousers.
Few brands are as synonymous with rock-n-roll as Versace and Versus has it built into its DNA. Chainmail-reminiscent mini skirts, destructed denim, high-cut bodysuits, and oversized safety pin earrings drove that tough, fun point home.
And you never have to worry about the sexiness quotient in any Versace collection. Thigh-baring mini dresses, Bella opening the show in briefs, wide, grommet-detailed belts worn as tops, and cutouts exposing hip bones were all on the agenda.
What I enjoyed most was the strength the designs radiated: the Versus Versace woman is strong, confident, powerful, and completely sure of herself. Red lips, high necks, cutouts, knee-high lace up boots—she’s fierce, fearless, and dynamic. All words I think most modern-day women would be more than happy to be described as.
