VERSACE SS17: A BACKSTAGE STORY
More and more every season, Donatella Versace explores the possibilities and challenges of sportswear. Staying true to the Versace ultra feminine aesthetic, she’s always pushing the codes of the House by finding new ways to appeal to the every kind of woman. With each collection (and this spring-summer 2017 collection especially), she spreads a message of freedom, strength, and independence. Seeing potential in a sportswear aesthetic, Donatella Versace delivered yet another powerful collection characterized by the choices and treatments of fabrics. Ultra-leightweight nylon is reworked to create the impression of draping, while sleeveless dresses adorn intricate shapes through the use of drawstrings. It looks unexpected and truly modern, especially when worn with platform sandals that enhance that feeling of functionality.
