Dramatic shapes, asymmetry, “new volume” inspired by the style of the 50s, crystal glamour, provocation, this would briefly describe the new collection of Atelier Versace.

Donatella Versace unexpectedly turns to the style of the 50s, specifically the high fashion of legendary designer Charles James, to his love of structured aesthetics and to his unusual approach to to making the creations. “He made me to think of new volumes and new construction, but through the eyes of Versace” – said 59-year-old designer. “I love the high fashion of the 50’s. For me, it was the most perfect when it comes to model and structure “- she explained.

Corsets, high slit, many cuts and hybrid “dress-pants” that unveil the body are evidence that Donatella will never abandon the idea of prominent sex appeal. “Of course, I would never completely cover the body” – she commented.

Key details by which will be recognizable the collection are double strap that usually stand at the hips. Elegant gloves are another indicator of the impact of fashion from the 50s in the new handmade collection. Luxurious fabrics in certain moments are decorated with Swarovski crystals which reinforces the glamor effect.
