MUSE TWENTY FANZINE

POTENT ALLURE

2022.02.28

by MADDALENA IODICE

Versace channels Gen Z lexicon bringing to the catwalk seductive mystery and contemporary bustier tailoring.

The Versace Woman for Fall-Winter 2022 has an eruptive vibe and a seductive sense of mystery. The she fully owns her potent allure and knows exactly when to unleash her power. The bustier tailoring is at the Collection’s core pared back and modernized as it is incorporated into sculptural outerwear and sportswear shapes as boxy jackets. The House signature tweeds fray, unravel and drip in crystal and metal chains, while raw female force is enhanced through tightly cinched waists. Latex gloves and knee-height boots flirt with the subversive. Based on contrasts the collection smoulders in deep red, plum, charcoal, and black, with flashes of avocado, pink and DV blue setting looks ablaze.

 “The collection and the looks are built on contrast and tension—like an elastic band pulled tight and about to snap-back with a build-up of energy. That feeling is just irresistible to me. It opens new possibilities and makes things happen.”
