Salvation, subversion, Versace. Salvation, subversion, Versace. In three words revealed by an Italian house at dawn fashion show spring-summer 2023 there is a whole point to being a woman. The Versace woman, of course. A woman who is a woman, but not (a) Madonna: blasphemous, yes, but the pun makes sense on the catwalk. So much so that Paris Hilton closed the show wearing a fluorescent pink veil and tiara, a remake of the one Madonna (this time the star) wore in an Atelier Versace ad campaign in 1995. And this is immediately amarcord .
Versace spring-summer 2023 show: clothes
Supermodel Gigi Hadid, a friend of the fashion house and Donatella, opened the show and the summary of the total black look (you remember the Versace advertising campaign in which they posed together). Midi silhouettes float down the runway: draperies add volume and soul to looks that speak to us of femininity with lavish cutouts that appear to be slits – and there it is, a metaphor for the subversive act – like slits on a canvas meant to catch a glimpse of see the body of the muse. Rebel in the name of beauty.
Not just black, on the catwalk. Among the trendy colors of the Spring-Summer 2023 season, there are those that already keep us company in the Versace collection for the upcoming winter season: fluorescent pink, purple and highlighter yellow are also smeared on every dress, strictly worn tone on tone with shoes. and accessories. Long dresses confidently reach the height of the ankles, sometimes making them transparent due to the transparent effect that exposes the body.
There is no La Greca, not even Medusa. And if the iconic prints of Gianni Versace dusted off the dust in last summer’s collection from the archives of the House, then this time Donatella seems to have taken a new course. There are dresses that stand out for their floral patterns, and others for optical patterns reminiscent of animalistic ones.
Finally, the corset. Clothes turn into dolls that go outside., sexy, but also perfect for getting to know the rules of the wedding look. With open bones to hide the chest, in fluorescent shades and paired with tights and a tulle veil. Long, but also short, as long as they are subversive in the context in which they will be shown: maybe a church?
Versace spring-summer 2023 show: collection
In addition to clothing Phil Rouge With rich and clear storytelling, the Versace collection also brings soft cargo pants to the runway, worn in all black with oversized outerwear, in chromatic contrast with anorak jackets to show off when unbuttoned. Even the cut-out trousers rework the concept of the cut as a subversive act, turning it into an all-encompassing leitmotif. Then tight trousers, really very tight and sensual to look like tights: fringes and sheer threads define the style.the charm. Skirts, on the other hand, are mini and low-rise, and are worn with the navel exposed. And if the goal is a holy place – blasphemy, take us – Versace subversion is the most pleasant way to salvation.
