While some may question a fashion designer addressing political setbacks like the outcome of last year’s U.S. election, Versace means it when she professes her love of bold and uncompromising nasty women. Who else could build authentic and lasting relationships with women in such different stages of life as Jane Fonda and Lady Gaga?
The sinuous mesh inserts and subtle ombré effect of look 7 would certainly be up the former’s alley, while the latter might find a tour-wardrobe hero in the bold shoulders and sparkle of look 50.
