It has been more than twenty years since the famous Italian designer Gianni Versace left the world. Today, the fashion house he once ran is run by his sister and successor, Donatella Versace. The fashion house received a big name in the late 70s, after the resounding success of the first show of its outfits. The most beautiful women on the planet wear Versace dresses for their ambiguity and magnificence. And they are happy to choose them as outfits for awards and festivals. About the main features of Versace dresses and which ones we remember the most in today's article.
More gold
One of the recognizable accents that is present in most of the creations of the fashion house is the golden color. It seems to be everywhere: buttons, chains and other accessories are most often made of metal imitating gold.
Gianni Versace was very fond of this colorwe alth and filled his collections with it often. After his death, the same tradition is continued by his sister Donatella, who also adores the color gold.
Frankness, but not vulgarity
Another element of the Versace fashion house's signature style is the love for rather deep cutouts on dresses. Recall at least the outfit of Jennifer Lopez, which made a splash at the Grammy Awards in 2000. In fact, the dress was made of translucent weightless fabric, which exposed the body of the star as much as possible. The whole structure was held by a huge brooch, which was located on the singer's stomach.
Only the lazy after the end of the award did not comment on J. Lo's outfit. But it was this dress that became one of the most memorable Versace dresses that sparkled on the red carpet.
Bright neon colors
Gianni never hid his love for rich and bright colors. In all his collections, he did some very striking things that immediately attracted attention. Crazy colors, unusual prints and an abundance of gold fittings made Versace's dress collections a bombshell for the fashion industry. Gianni created not just dresses, but real works of art. They sparkled with an abundance of sparkles and colors and overshadowed everything around.
Gianni was a big fan of combining the incongruous. He liked to intertwine picturesque motifs and pop art in his outfits. It would seem, how can these two directions get along together? But in the hands of the master, everything became a reality. Mostpopular models from all over the world walked the catwalks in his outfits and considered it an honor to work with a genius.
Animal prints
A very important part of Versace collections is the animal print. Zebra, leopard and cheetah colors have already merged tightly with the name of the fashion house and appear in almost all the designer's collections.
Gianni announced his love for animal prints many years ago. Since then, nothing has changed, and already Donatella adheres to the same style design line built by her brother.
New collection spring-summer 2018
The current collection from the fashion house was no exception to the rule, but pleasantly surprised the audience. In addition to the traditional suits with gold patterns with a reference to history, Versace presented several models in the style of pop art. Unusually bright sundresses and overalls, decorated with Andy Warhol's works, beckon the eyes.
Only a skilled craftsman could create such masterpieces. The new collection was to the taste of many present at the show and gathered a lot of positive feedback.
Jolie's famous dress
The second most popular appearance of a star in a dress from Versace, Donatella considers the appearance of Angelina Jolie on the red carpet as one of the ceremonies. Photo of Versace dress on Angelina Jolie below.
