*SS17; Major Moment | Versace
Versace collections are known for being powerful.
Strength and glamour have become underlying threads running through the house.
This season is no different. But we must ask ourselves, in a modernizing world, has the idea of “power” shifted?
Vogue.com notes that, before the Versace girl was comfortable being arm candy – and I mean, who wouldn’t be? But now, in a time of empowerment, this girl is about sisterhood and athleticism.
This was a majorly active collection. But Donatella skillfully found a way to to appropriate traditionally outdoor elements and make them suitable for indoor.
Billowy parkas – and parka dresses, drawstrings, snap fasteners, and rainwear.
Unexpected. But undeniably modern.
And definitely not without the elevation and sophistication to be expected of a Versace collection.
An easy collection, if ever there was one. This girl is on the go!
And as the slew of top models – past and present- strutted these clever creations to an inspiring feminist soundtrack, those in attendance were also encouraged to get active.
“Living is better than dreaming” went the voiceover.
“Take the leap!”…
…and we’ll do just that!
See the rest of the collection here.
Enjoy!
