There was a sense of fantasy present at the Versace show- that is if you, like me, dream of beautifully beefy men gilded in Oriental opulence, kind of like a modern-day Trojan-Paris-meets-Mister-T. Again, like with her recent showings, Donatella infused some of her brother, the late Gianni's aesthetics with her own- setting an 80s cool chic undertone to her glam-rock tendencies. The colours were relatively tame considering it was mainly black and shades of bronze. However, decadent accents such as a gilded heavyweight, boxing belt (which so far probably takes the cake for accessory du jour), golden medallions and the abundant prints remind us that we don't look to Versace for minimalist fashion. My favourite pieces include the new overcoat- it's short-sleeved, loud and light which is a perfect accompaniment during the hot summer months. Also, that shimmering pair of sheer harem trousers- I need it.
