Versace Fall 2015

VERSACE FALL 2015

Queen of enticement, Donatella Versace transported models to the seventies and eighties decade for her Fall 2015 collection. Pulsating energy was injected throughout with glamazon powerhouse connotations reminiscent of the original ubermodel era prevalent.

Versace  sweetheart, Natasha Poly took to the runway in a rigorously cut, pinstripe coat dress. A mammoth belt complete with lustrous silver square belt buckle attenuated the waist. A venetian red turtleneck featured a Greek key motif which also accompanied opaque tights and a plush, quilted envelope clutch. Saturated cherry red frequented a sleeveless, funnel neck, jersey mini dress. Details included step flounce hem, crystal embellished belt and peek-a-boo slit positioned high on the neck. Stretch suede thigh high boots were finalised with a Greek character chrome heel and platform sole as worn by catwalk maestro Karlie Kloss.

An oversized canary yellow shag coat was married to a turtleneck blouse which was tucked neatly into high waisted, flat front, tapered trousers  in a streamlined arabesque. The fur coat also starred in a knee grazing version in a brash shade of emerald green modelled by Kaitlin Aas.

A compelling skater girl raven dress was amplified with a libidinous decolletage splice revealing a window of flesh. The fluid skirt featured a titillating thigh split.

A riot of primary colours was evident on a ribbed, cropped, shrunken bomber jacket emblazoned yet again with the Greek Versace key motif. Eye popping royal blue, jade green, aureolin and crimson made for an electrifying combination. A mid thigh length full circle skirt added a flirtatious edge. Logos galore were plastered across garments throughout the collection, think monogram sweaters, leather jackets and hip hugging flares cut short on the ankle.

German model of the moment Anna Ewers modelled a star spangled, crystal encrusted, beaded and sequined strapless mini dress. Hashtags and @ symbols graced the mesmeric, lavish number. The Versace characters adorned chain bracelets adding a kitsch element to the ensemble.

Other covetable garments included an asymmetrical cocktail dress in the mood boosting shade of sunglow yellow, a fire engine red cape coat accessorised with gargantuan sunglasses, turtleneck and patent leather thigh boot which oozed with fetishism. For the enigmatic, the staple ebony trench dress was updated to feature tooled leather Greek key panelling.

A collection replete with rebellion and devil may care attitude. Exemplary for the statuesque beauty with a penchant for all things lavish.
