“This is a collection about different tribes of Versace men, and the powerful positivity that can happen when men from different places, different cultures join together” Says Donatella Versace.
Pride in identity, the coming together of clans, and the sense of belonging from new archetypes for a male wardrobe. Outerwear includes long, knitted coats that wrap the body, or sharply tailored coats that are held by belts to dramatize the silhouette.
Prints throughout are like mark-making, as if the hand-painted pattern of an ancient tribe. The prints unify and blend the collection between formal and casual. Photographic prints of classical sculptures are collaged with images of hardware, symbolising the idealistic beauty of male power through the ages.
Positive words of hope are embroidered and pattern of African textiles are found in jacqueard coats thar are woven like blankets, or graphic sweaters that were proudly knitted by hand.
