At Milan Fashion Week, Donatella Versace's runway show was empowered with electricity and magnetism
At the Versace show, Donatella Versace spearheaded a flavourful collection that included a merge between androgyny and luxury. As a result, there was a spotlight on Versace's iconography and DNA.
With a major play on contrasting details, the autumnal collection consisted of colour clashes and heaps of fabric layering, too. For instance, that mock crocodile quilted leather jacket, bright knitwear and contrasting lace trims spotted on Kaia Gerber.
However, with plenty to keep the eye entertained, the collection actually paid tribute to Versace's long-loved relationship with fashion photography.
The legendary fashion photographer, Richard Avedon, and his namesake foundation, have reprised iconic images from previous works with Versace for the collection. Therefore one of the house's most distinctive fragrances, Blonde, and its 1995 campaign shot by Avedon, officially made it back to the runway. The selection of Avedon x Versace t-shirts and sweatshirts are actually available for purchase now.
A string of iconic symbols from the brand's traditional aesthetics have graced the catwalk, too. As a result, the new collection intertwined fabulous clusters of gold, baroque prints and the signature piece of hardware, the safety pin.
Meanwhile, Versace also subtly introduced a new handbag line, titled Virtus, on the runway. In conclusion to it symbolising strength, courage and character, we're certain this piece of arm candy piece will top off our wish-lists next season.
In addition to the runway collection, the casting of models proved to be a hit with the fash pack.
Millennial models including Bella and Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Stella Maxwell represented the new girl gang. On the other hand, Versace runway icon Stephanie Seymour and Shalom Harlow shared the spotlight, too.
