MILAN FASHION WEEK S/S 2013 : VERSACE

 

The Versace Versus brand saw a parade of 31 girls modelling as Beth Ditto sang live.  Once the girls finished walking the front row formed a mosh pit in front of Ditto, who was wearing a black dress, with plastic black, white and orange chains trimming the hem, waist, and neckline.

The collection featured cartoon prints, from large dots to love hearts and next seasons hottest fashion motif - the daisy.  Fabrics included sporty techno stretch mesh, patent leather, silks, and transparent printed plastic.

The mainline Versace collection featured a lot of flesh with thigh skimming short wispy gowns and trademark criss-cross leather lace up details.  Sparkly fringed belts and glittered chokers, tough looking long leather boots with high heels strutted down a flashing disco runway.

Masculine jackets cut long in length, some featured pretty lace panels.  Leather and lace was also used on shorts and mini dresses.  Crushed silk slip dresses were belted in tie-dye patterns or orange.
Tie-dye kaftans "that's very street style isn't it." Donatella said, adding, "which is what I wanted, but then I worried about whether they were sexy or feminine enough."

"It was a tougher woman with the jackets but also for the first time I really wanted to show a more fragile side as well," Donatella explained after the show.  This idea she said was reflected in more fluid shapes.  On the style of print she said: "this is a house of prints and we could do anything but i felt this organic feeling with the tie-dye."
