Milan, Italy – In its much-anticipated show in which it presented its new Fall Winter 2016/17 collection, the legendary Versace goes one up on modernity by reinventing some of its signatures the 1980’s.
Versace is known for bold and dramatic pieces for winter. And here there is no exception. The color palette starts from light hues white, ivory, silver, greys, lavender, baby blue ending with sharp black. The accessories include wool beanies, substantial backpacks, boots, eyewear, silk ties, bags and belts.
When you think of Versace the portrait of a powerful, dominant alpha comes to mind. He is also peacock who likes to shine and be noticed. This is the company’s DNA since its very beginning. And for Fall/Winter 2016-2017, we have the opportunity to bear witness to shiny embroideries, satin shirts, metallics, patches and ornamental prints.
Artistic director Donatella Versace has been careful to create pieces that cover all aspects in the life of the modern Versace man. So she has created a huge selection of pants — usually slim fitted — from casual trousers, elegant suit pants, sporty joggers and decorative skinnies for a true rock star.
One can fall in love with the chunky long double-breasted coats that have the dramatic lapels. The feel of the collection is sporty and dynamic. Each piece is conceived as modern yet somehow from a futuristic movie. The suits, jackets, leather pieces, fine knit sweaters, cardigans, shirts and chunky winter jackets make a lasting fashion statement. The tops are either elongated or short and cropped.
