What can one say? If one can say nothing else, one can
surely say that Donatellamommamia is persistent and if one wanted to take it a
step further you might say erratic! It would appear that when she doesn’t seem
to be trying that hard she shines and shows herself and her brand off to their
greatest advantages.
Pre-fall is full of clothes that can actually be worn
outside of eastern Europe or the orient
and that in of itself is a great accomplishment for the brand as well as the
designer. Apparently the requisites of pre-fall are strictly adhered to this
season as these are clothes that can
sell provided of course that they appeal to you. Ms. Versace has decided to
reference the iconic safety pin dress through various incarnations and
interpretations of lashing and “staples” or rather a flat connector bar of
sorts. In some cases it is quite
effective and in others not so much which holds true for her color blocking and
knits.
Her ode to houndstooth is okay but nothing to yell about as
it gets a bit confusing especially in the knits and the patchwork type
patterning. Where she is much more successful is with the leather work and the
use of the silver studs and lashing on the all black pieces. Even the
silhouettes prove greatly appealing in those pieces especially the slimmer top
paired with the full skirted bottom. Rarely does Ms. Versace deviate from her
come and get it shapes but this season she surely takes a path toward reality
based clothes and that includes shoes and hemlines.
