Pure Versace SS18 – fresh attitude, easy energy and a passion

Milan Fashion Week Spring-Summer 2018: Versace
“This collection is like a homecoming. It’s about the passions that define Versace, the complexity of men, the energy of today.” Donatella Versace
Tailoring along with strong prints, silk shirts, tracksuits, biker jackets and bombers, parachute trousers and trench coats -  they are all there in Versace's SS2018 Collection shown at Milan Fashion Week, pulled together by the label's fresh attitude, easy energy and a passion that runs deep in the new collection.

Pinstripes are refreshed and remixed:  strong-shouldered tailoring, and shirts where different pinstripes are contrasted and clashed.

The new power of Versace prints: the utility of a tech blouson is contrasted with the romance of its “Balletto” print, while the “Angelo” print appears on a sharp quilted bomber.

Versace silk shirts are made modern, with two shirts cut up and combined, or the optical print shirt cropped to just show above the waist of black silk utility shorts.
Knits are playful, like the cotton knit red twinsets with a bead and crystal crown embellishment, or diagonal cut knits that add dynamism to the layers.   Biker jackets and pants are given unexpected softness in black silk, complete with quilted padding.














Silk pyjamas are the perfect luxury for day. A classic Versace logo looks totally new, embroidered in white stitches on a baby blue or pale pink T-shirt, worn with matching straight leg jeans.

Parachute pants have zips at the side for a volume that’s then gathered by drawstrings, while utility blousons have lattice lacing on the sleeves.

Leather trench coats are created from intricate patchworks of leather squares, the corners held as if by a bolt. They come in black or black-and-white check.

On the other hand, sports influences play their part.
Baby pink tracksuits are in cotton velour textured with a baroque jacquard, while stonewash denim jackets are cut and patchworked with Versace denim prints. Metal chains stitched through tailoring create an eloquent evening take on the pinstripe. The “Cornice” print appears on a sharply tailored silk blazer.















A special Womenswear capsule collection shows the unity of the Versace world: pinstripes, cut-and-clashed prints, rich embroideries.
