Donatella showcased her Versace Spring/Summer 2019 menswear at the recent show at Milan Fashion Week. The captivating runway was adorned with ornate flowers at the Palazzo Versace location. This latest collection sees the concept of sensuality in masculinity and draws inspiration from the variety of male archetypes including the man of high fashion, surfer boy, boardroom executive and street-style icon. This is done in order to paint a sartorial visual of who the modern Versace man is.
The new menswear capsule is full of electric neon tones that immediately grab attention, along with floral prints and tabloid designs that nod to celebrity culture. There is also an infusion of early 2000s aesthetics of rave and skate translated through pieces such as baggy combat pants, patent faux python vests, translucent holographic apparel, bucket hats and tinted eyewear.
