A REGAL REBEL
Energy seems to erupt throughout the collection,
as signature Versace tweeds fray, unravel and drip
in crystal and metal chains, while raw female force
is seemingly caught and enhanced through tightly
cinched waists. Latex gloves and knee-height boots
flirt with the subversive. Typically regal pearl jewelry
is disrupted by sharp punk spikes, and pin-sharp
pumps are finished in a latex-like brushed leather
with metal heels.
CONCEALED, REVEALED,
EMPOWERED
The unmistakable Atelier Versace bustier is at the
collection's core. Its flourishes are pared back and
modernized as it is incorporated into sculptural
outerwear and sportswear shapes. Silhouettes
are seductive and fully empowered, with strongshouldered silhouettes and the bustier revealed
under open suiting, or momentarily glimpsed beneath
exaggerated overcoats. The bustier can be seen both
as forceful protective armor and overtly provocative,
giving a sense of agency to the wearer.
The collection smoulders in deep red, plum, charcoal,
and black, with flashes of avocado, pink and DV
blue setting looks ablaze. Textures continue the
collection's play on contrast. Outerwear featuring the
La Greca motif in close-shaved sheepskin is teamed
with tantalizing latex tops and leggings, and a new
knit bomber jacket shape cocoons the wearer.
The new Greca Goddess line of bags and accessories
harnesses Versace's culture of myth and luxury, with
the brand's Greca motif sitting harmoniously as
central golden hardware and chain shoulder straps.
The central symbol features across a hand-slip,
allowing the bag to be tightly snatched in the hand
and carried for more impulsive styling.
