I’ve not made it a secret that I’m terribly fond of the Versace of old and by implication have thought that for some time Donatella has ridden the juggernaut that her brother’s immense talent created. Carrying on the legacy of Gianni. A seemingly impossible task.
For the first time in as many shows as I can remember I think Donatella may have hit her stride. Atelier Versace Fall 2015 was a wonder of delicate femininity, painted in rich colors with hints of texture in all the right places. A path of orchids, forest nymphs adorned in a Versace collection that would make her brother proud.
