It’s all about a sporty and active summer.

Sportswear is the future of fashion; to make it unique and luxurious is the challenge I took this season. This is a collection that is all about a woman’s freedom: freedom of movement, freedom of activity, freedom to fight for their ideas, freedom to be whomever you want to be.” stated Donatella Versace.

We have witnessed a celebration of the strength of women, and the power of the female future.

Ultra-lightweight nylon has been worked to create a beautiful draping effect, making it billowy and luxurious, while tailoring in technical jersey sculpts the form is confirmed by a harness belt.

A new print clashes checkerboards with fresh Versace lettering, while another new print is like the swirl of baroque waves on a powerful ocean.  Versace crystal chain mail is embroidered to create a new mesh, its fluidity echoing in crepe wrap dresses held by a buckle with flowing straps.

And yes, the new Stardvst bag takes inspiration from the guitar strap, either used as a strap or as a fastening detail, the leather soft for a rock’n’roll attitude.

The soundtrack is a specially-written new track by Violet & Photonz.
