The artistry in Versace Fall Winter 2024 collection disrupts traditional tailoring norms, introducing a dynamic interplay of elements. There is a transformation as drapes challenge its structure, prints are dismantled and reemerge as intricate embroidery, while fabrics from Atelier Versace are skillfully shredded and repurposed into opulent tweed.
This departure from the conventional is nothing short of brilliant and rebellious. The design team boldly experimented with power tailoring, pushing boundaries to extremes.
Duster overcoats and tailored dresses to the more daring cropped Spencer jackets paired with miniskirts are presented. The collection showcases hourglass jackets complemented by precisely tailored pants, women’s broad-shouldered tailoring contrasted with stirrup leggings, and men’s wide-leg pants harmonized with shrunken shirts.
Signature metal mesh takes on a new, lighter weight for ready-to-wear, gracefully layered over distressed denim.
Intricate details abound, featuring golden Medusa buttons, jewel embroidery, liquid micro sequins, and stacked belt buckles. The collection’s distinctive Wild Barocco motif takes center stage, manifesting in various forms such as prints, knitwear, jacquards, and embroidery, further emphasizing the rebellious spirit and artistic innovation woven into every aspect of these designs.
The Men’s Medusa Biggie and Cargo bags undergo a contemporary transformation with the infusion of seasonal colors and material finishes, introducing a tactile and stylish dimension with faux pony hair.
Footwear takes center stage with designs that exude both fierceness and refinement. A notable addition is the innovative Slice heel, presenting a sleek stiletto profile when viewed from the side and making a bold statement with an impactful block appearance from the back. The timeless Heritage Gianni Ribbons embellish Ballerina styles, featuring intricate embroidery, a captivating leopard motif, or a sophisticated integration of tweed.
Taking a bold step into high-fashion territory, Texano boots are reimagined for both men and women. Scaling up to thigh-high lengths, these boots command attention and taper gracefully to a definitive point at the toe, combining style with a hint of edge.
About the collection, Donatella Versace says, “This collection has a rebel attitude and a kind heart. The woman is a good girl with a wild soul. She is prim but sexy. Don’t mess with her! The man is her soulmate, a shy genius. They are breaking the rules to make new ones. The clothes take the codes of contemporary formal tailoring and disrupt them with cut, drape, and embellishment. The collection focuses on pure lines, innovative fabrics, considered wildness. This is us. This is Versace!”
