VERSACE’S Fall-Winter 2022 Collection Show Was All About Corset
Donatella Versace unveiled her latest Fall/Winter 2022-23 collection during the Milan fashion Week: corsets, mannish suits and pop colors on the catwalk.
Donatella Versace unveiled her latest VERSACE Women’s Fall-Winter 2022 collection, presenting a powerful, seductive collection with sense of mystery.
The opening look, a black pantsuit that oozed absolute certainty, Donatella signaled the next chapter in what she had already announced as “Versace 2.0”.
Silhouettes were seductive and enhanced by revealing the bustier under open suits, embedded in the structure of a timeless black blazer or momentarily glimpsed under exaggerated coats.
“Our cast of Versace Women for Fall-Winter 2022 is exciting. Girls like Avanti, Anyier and Tilly perfectly represent a Versace with new generation attitude and they champion diversity. They embody the energy running through the collection and the looks 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,” shared Donatella in a press release.
The show itself featured a bold red runway, pumping music and an impressive front row. Moreover, during the fashion show, oversized tailoring was present too, offering a masculine element to some of the looks, which keep their sexiness with skin-tight tops and low-rise ruched skirts. The legendary cargo pants also had their surreal return, which has not seen the light of day since the 2000s.
As regards hair and makeup, the looks were also all about the nineties and seemed to be inspired by the look of Donatella Versace herself. Super straight hair, smudged eyeliner, and accentuated cheekbones even had Gigi Hadid transformed into a “Mini-Me” Donatella.
“Never shy or retiring, the Versace Woman for Fall/Winter 2022 has a powerful and seductive sense of mystery, shifting in and out of sight. With unapologetic certainty, she fully owns her allure and knows exactly when to unleash her power,” read the show notes.
During the fashion show, you could also see fitted bodices, which appeared on cropped puffer jackets and long-sleeve crop tops. Corset boning details were worked into the middle section of houndstooth print dresses and silky slips. “It model” Gigi Hadid walked down the runway in a fiery red dress that featured the aforementioned sultry detail. According to the show notes, “the bustier can be seen both as forceful protective armour and overtly provocative, giving a sense of agency to the wearer.”
