Paris Haute Couture - Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2012
The silvery siren gowns and gold filigree dresses and biker jackets were worked in combination of lace, leather, crystalline sugar-granule beading, and rose motifs. Sharp half-moons of gold aluminium, inserted to jut at the hips, or cut into angular slices to emphasize corsets, gave a sense of futuristic drama to sinous silhouettes calculated to glorify every curve of the Versace rock-goddess body. With the suggestion of peplums, and the underpinnings of short showing through sheer segments of lace, the look hit on two trends of the moment, but really, this was a continuation of everything the house has always done. Stepping back into the limelight of couture is a positive step for Donatella - and a fillip to the spirit of this round of shows.
