Versace’s Fall/Winter 2024 Collection Offers Their Twist on Punk-Chic
Donatella Versace's latest collection is, as expected, effortlessly alluring.
This season’s collection for Versace channeled the punkster, and while the garments’ business formal tone may not illicit a punk-chic aesthetic at first, the theme makes more sense when looking at the collection as a whole.
Out came the put-together grey and black suits and dresses that almost transport you to '80s Wall Street. The debonair suits, and broad-shouldered silhouettes styled with black leather gloves, give off a powerful and captivating aura. The red made its way in the form of plaid skirts, blazers, and coats, which lean into the school-kid-gone-bad character. Sheer mesh ensembles, plaid, and denim sets were showcased on the runway, making for a cool and contemporary collection that’s sure to strike up trends and maintain of-the-moment ones as well. Animal print has seen a comeback in recent months, yet something tells me Versace would have incorporated leopard print regardless of its current relevance. The brand has never shied away from bold, sensual, and sexy designs, and while Donatella Versace’s recent collections have been more understated, she stays loyal to the Maison’s illustrious glamour.
Speaking of glamorous, the collection also introduces numerous leather pieces, and sparkling black and silver evening looks with eye-catching draped waists and more dominant office looks. It’s as if the collection is punk in disguise, a dual between business and party chic that concludes when the closing look is a simple yet elegant power suit.
In the audience was Anne Hathaway who wore the red corseted dress featured in this season's collection.
