VERSACE, THE MEDUSA INJECTS COLOR

06/23/2013

Staring at Versace’s medusa in the eye, this time you run risk being infected by an injection of color. Versace’s man is sexy in every occasion, whether it be in slip swimsuit or in jacket and tie, strictly over Bermuda shorts that rejuvenate tradition in the image, but surely not tailoring craftsmanship which, moreover, is in the DNA of Versace brothers, who grew up in the atelier of their mother. The jackets are long and define the figure without forcing it into overly slim proportions, the waist of trousers rises and the tie is once again wide: it seems like an invitation to dive into the ‘90s. But the craftsmanship of this fashion house is precisely that of remaining faithful to a dress code (there are studs and prints) while renewing it: so it seems that the tube of paint is squeezed on the white t-shirts, or directly on the skin , as confirmed by the colored bandages typical of athletes and here worn by the models. Other times the color is mixed with joy and happiness, giving fresh prints perfect for summer.
