Enfnts Terribles

Versace’s heritage

The collection has Gianni’s name all over it. It was a throwback, but refreshing at the same time! No all-blonde girl squad, but the original Versace beauty and a celebration of the brand’s heritage. As fashion lovers, this is exactly what we needed, and more. Donatella reminded us that a big part of the trends that are ruling the fashion landscape today, wouldn’t be here without her brother Gianni. The entire collection was inspired by the work of Versace in between ’91 and ’95, which are the years Gianni Versace produced some of his most known and characteristic collections.

Some of the silhouettes were pulled directly from the archives. As they were too complicated to replicate in time for the show. One of those archive silhouettes was the black and white ball skirt worn by Naomi Campbell on the Fall ‘92 runway, now worn by Natasha Poly.

As if this collection of blouses, square-shouldered jackets, leggings, catsuits, corsets, trenches, mini sheaths, and maxi skirts wasn’t enough, Donatella had something else up here sleeve to honor her brother. After the final walk of the models who showcased the collection, a display of 5 of the most iconic models ever was revealed. Standing on a little stage, with nothing but gold Versace dresses – straight from the archives, we guess. That’s right, for her grand finale, Donatella called the icons of the 90s to accompany her. She walked with Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruni, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Helena Christensen, to the chorus of George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90. A true tribute to her brother, Gianni Versace.
