Versace – spring 2007

“Adonis goes to the beach” could have very well been the idea of the show as Donatella showcased a relaxed, de-structured collection, fit for a day at the beach. Versace’s men’s lines have usually provided clothing to suit the tanned and toned but this time Donatella moved away from the crisp tailoring and hard pieces, opting instead for clothes that brought about a sense of ease. Baggy trousers, barely caressing the hips and the deconstructed jackets were the main focuses of the show. Donatella might have mentioned more than once that fashion is all about sex, but this time the sexuality was pronounced in different ways. The loose fabric oozed sensuality when it caressed the hard bodies of the models and the lightness of the fabric (to the point of sheer) allowed the male physique to be framed after all. The daring V-necks and light linens added to the sensual experience making the collection body-conscious in a way, that wouldn’t urge its wearers to run to the gym. On the whole Donatella saw a light, airy, sea side pigmented, wardrobe with a splash of sexuality that one can always expect from the sensual house of Versace for this spring.
