For Resort 2020, Donatella Versace went West. See the collection here:
For Resort, Donatella Versace went West, referencing rodeo queens—women with a sexy spirit of adventure and a fearless femininity. It’s a description which could actually apply to the designer herself, who embodies the powerful vitality the label stands for. No one lives and breathes the Versace lifestyle better than Donatella.
The mythology of the American West was one of her brother Gianni’s enduring fascinations; in 1992 he made headlines with a collection featuring cowboys and cowgirls in studded black leather regalia, twisted with a transgressive nod to bondage. The frontier was an apt reference for his groundbreaking take-no-prisoners exploration of confident excess. “Fashion knows no boundaries or frontiers,” she said via email.
Versace’s house codes are powerful, instantly recognizable signifiers: the Medusa medallion and the safety pin; the studded cowboy buckle; the Barocco motifs; the sexy innuendo of the color black. They were all here in the Resort collection, filtered through a nod to pop culture and coalescing around an ‘80s-inspired structured silhouette.
Versace tailoring is inherently assertive. For Resort, it was anchored by broad padded shoulders and accented with knotted bandanna-inspired printed-silk foulards. Elsewhere those bandannas morphed into a series of asymmetrical printed-silk slip dresses cinched at the waist by studded black leather belts.
