On a catwalk featuring
Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid and Irina Shayk,
Italian design house Versace presented a bold,
multi-faceted collection for women on Friday.
As she had done for the men’s collection, artistic
director Donatella Versace opened the spring and
summer show, with airy windbreaker jackets in
green, purple and blue.
They were matched with leggings and rucksacks
and parachute-like dresses in high-tech fabrics,
giving a sports flair to a part of the collection,
mostly in black purple and green.
Other parts of the show included thinly pleated
creations with knitted details or fluid silk dresses
and skirts with optical patterns which included
the brand’s fret motif.
In a rare cameo, Naomi Campbell walked in a
athleisure look with a layered blue and red
wraparound skirt with matching cropped blouse
with a zipper. She wore knee-high laced blue and
red boots and carried a rucksack.
For a complete change of style for the evening,
Versace woman changed into clear-cut, black
designs, with short dresses and skin tights suits,
embellished by crystal details giving off metallic
reflections.
A red net dress with sequins stood out from the
total black looks on show on the third day of
Milan fashion week.
The models strutted along a zig-zag shaped
catwalk to the beat of electronic music.
“This show is for women taking chances. Take a
leap,” spoke a women’s voice over the pounding
rhythm.
The brand famous for its Medusa head logo, in
May named Jonathan Akeroyd, the former head of
British brand Alexander McQueen, as its new chief
executive in an unexpected move ahead of a
planned stock market listing.
Milan fashion week runs until Monday and Italian
brands Blumarine and Ermanno Scervino will
showcase their collections on Saturday.
