While labels like [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claudia-schiffer-barbie), [Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection) and Armani recently showcased their [couture collections on the runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026), Versace opted for private appointments with the special customers in January for their Atelier Versace line. Now the public can sneak a peek into these luxurious gowns in a quasi-lookbook with model Georgina Stojiljkovic. The new Atelier Versace creations look to be ready for the next big event carpet. Interestingly, the Atelier Versace collection features quite a few minidresses in addition to the more mainstream floor-length and ruffled gowns. So maybe we’ll be seeing more legs on the next red carpet.
