Versace offers ’goddess gone grunge’ at Milan Fashion Week
The Italian luxury label mixed tiaras and studs for its latest womenswear creations
Italian luxury label Versace mixed tiaras and studs for its latest womenswear creations at Milan Fashion Week, offering a collection it called "a goddess gone grunge" for next spring.
Designer Donatella Versace opened the show with all black looks, including tight-fitting dresses slashed at different angles. Black biker jackets and leather trousers had fringes or metal studs.
Pink and purple designs followed, including long dresses with deep cowl necklines, flared trousers and long zebra print chiffon shirts.
“I have always loved a rebel. A woman who is confident, smart and a little bit of a diva," Donatella Versace said in a statement.
"She wears leather, studs and frayed denim and she has enough attitude to mix them with chiffon, jersey, and a tiara! She is a strong liberated woman; she is gorgeous; she knows it. She is the Goddess of Freedom.”
The last looks included short and long lace-trimmed dresses in purple, pink and lime, accessorised with veils in the same colour.
US reality television star Paris Hilton closed the show in a short pink crystal mesh bridal dress with lace trims, accessorised with a pink veil and tiara.
Earlier this week, Prada presented a collection at the Week, where simplicity and contrasts were the main themes.
Designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons opened the Spring/Summer 2023 show with sharp grey looks including pointy-collared shirts, slim-fit trousers and a jumpsuit.
"The clothes are about simplicity, with no unnecessary complication," Miuccia Prada said in a statement.
"There is no complicated structure, nothing unnecessary. No nonsense - the rawness, the crudeness represents absolute simplicity. We wanted to do something with the most simple, modest material - with paper. Then we used this system of reduction and simplicity as a means of making beauty."
Outerwear consisted of light opera coats and black leather jackets. Some coats had large bows at the back.
