0 Runway Report--Milan Fashion Week--Versace Fall/Winter 2012

1997 Meets 2012:

Cross To Bare: Versace Fall/Winter 2012

Designer Gianni Versace's final collection was his Couture 1997 Collection. His sister, Donatella, who rules the Versace World, showed her recent offering for the House of Versace and it was inspired by this last collection of her brother's.

This collection had Religious and Gothic overtones and so did Donatella's. Therefore LOTS and LOTS of crosses. The mood was dark, sexy and very, very Rooney Mara (she's been a Muse of sorts for these Fall/Winter Collections). Colors: Black, Canary Yellow, Neon Orange, Silver, Ivory. Fabrications: leather, silk, metallic-silk. The peplum is a highlighted detail as well as fitted shapes and dresses (quelle surprise! It's Versace!) Oh and yes, Logo-a-Go-Go Dresses are Back...How 90's is that!?
