Versace AW 2023/2024: Where Style is 24/7.
In the world of fashion, there are clothes, and then there’s Versace. As Autumn Winter 2023/2024 unfolds, Versace once again proves why it is synonymous with iconic energy, taking center stage at a glamorous new pop-up at Selfridges London. The collection, featuring the Icons line, invites fashion enthusiasts to immerse themselves in a world where style knows no bounds, venues may change, but the essence of style remains a constant 24/7 affair.
A Luxurious Playground at Selfridges London
Versace’s AW23/24 collection is not just about clothing; it’s an experience. The pop-up at Selfridges London is a luxurious playground, complete with a runway, a photo moment that captures the essence of Versace, and even Medusa chocolate coins for that sweet touch of glamour.
Versatile Elegance: From Day to Night
When it comes to Versace, the mantra is clear – the tailoring is sharp, and the accessories are sleek. These pieces are not confined to a specific venue; they transcend occasions, effortlessly taking you from day to night. The Greca Goddess line introduces a giant sculpture of the new Greca Goddess top-handle bag, standing proudly alongside exquisitely crafted leather pieces, denim, evening dresses, and the ‘DV’ pantsuit – a personal favorite of Donatella herself.
Quiet Luxury, Versace Style
If quiet luxury is the poison, Versace is the antidote. It embodies glamour, supermodels, and an unparalleled sex appeal. This isn’t just luxury; it’s Luxury with a capital L, and it’s Iconic with a capital I.
The Mood: “I Feel Iconic, I Feel Versace”
This year, Donatella channels an unmistakable energy into the collection – “Icons.” The mood is a declaration: “I feel iconic, I feel Versace.” Paying homage to its origins in the power-suiting era of 1978, Versace introduces the Hourglass dress. Crafted from pure wool, it sculpts a figure-hugging silhouette with sharp, padded shoulders reminiscent of tailored blazers, finished with silver-toned waistcoat-inspired buttons adorned with the brand’s signature Medusa head.
Greca Goddess Bag: Subtle Simplicity with Signature Sophistication
Versace’s expansive range of bold motifs meets subtle simplicity in the form of the Greca Goddess bag. Crafted from buttery leather, this minimalistic style features a gold-tone metallic clasp – a signature nod to the label’s pattern-laden heritage. Whether slung over your shoulder or accompanying you for evening antics, this bag is the epitome of understated elegance.
Devilishly Daring Layers: The Medusa Leather Blazer
Versace has been redefining daring and curve-accentuating layers since 1978, and the AW23 collection is no exception. The Medusa leather blazer nods to the 90s with its shamelessly strong shoulders, figure-hugging cinched waist, and sharp linear panelling. Adorned with gleaming gold-tone Medusa buttons, this piece takes pride of place, embodying the bold spirit that is quintessentially Versace.
