Donatella Versace has been waiting for this moment her whole life. She's always been a go-fast girl. Now matters most. She doesn't pretend to be fluent in digitalism—that's what "people" are for, after all—but with her new collection, she managed an effective integration of Versace's past with the digital present, and a possible future in which, according to news reports, there might be an IPO for the company. You need to present a picture of glowing health in such circumstances, and the catwalk tonight certainly offered that. It was brimming with product: shoes and stockings and bags and sporty bits and pieces that spelled out V-E-R-S-A-C-E in crystal to the world.
If you have been following the house of Versace since founder Gianni Versace was the head designer you would already know that he was the master of mixing prints,colors and textiles! The 90's was the decade of the supermodels like Naomi, Cindy, Claudia, Christy and Linda who grace the Versace runways wearing Greek mytholo images like Medusa in bright fuchsia colors with overlays of black and white checkered squares, bordered with neon palm trees and baby angels flying to and fro the entire ensemble. Well Donatella pays homage to her late brother by revisiting the iconic area and giving it a modern and chic look! Instead of using printed silks and multicolored textiles she used exquisite and vibrant colored beading to create her own shapes, prints and textiles like only the house of Versace can create! Alphabits, hash tags, large @ logos and greek mythology borders over simple cocktail silhouettes like one shoulder, long sleeve chiffon & strapless dresses.Some dresses were covered in beaded design and some with just beaded design accents which glittered and sparkled down the runway!
Great!
