Versace S/S 09 Milan

I hate the printed pieces. It's a combination of being sick of florals and just not feeling any desire to see Donatella use them. Ever.

Other than that I really, really like this. All of those short, angular dresses make me think of Calvin Klein, but in a more fitted, palatable form. I just like that Donatella challenged herself with this, it's not quite like anything she's done before.

The bigger the images get the more beautiful details I see. The styling is beyond perfect, every piece is soooo great. I just love the whole ordeal.

There's nothing I can say wrong with this collection at all! Flawless clothes, flawless venue and set, flawless casting, flawless makeup, flawless hair.........all flawless! I find it very refreshing for the house that she didnt close the show with the standard Versace gowns. Love that!!! I am sooooo happy Donatella is on top of her game!!

(and the dresses at the end definitely have to have had the input of Kane!!!)

love this! so much better than last season!

I like the zipper dresses.
I like the idea of the heart origami.. the theatrics of it..but it's not for me..

To me this is a sexed up/all woman version of the cute and playful Moschino girl.

i totally agree...
i also wasn't crazy about the printed dresses from f/w...they seemed thrown in at the last minute, not as cohesive as the rest of the collection...
besides that, this is a really gorgeous collection, and i love the new direction donatella is moving towards...

Loving the shapes. Very paper/origami like.

Wow. Donatella really out did herself now. This is the best I've seen of all of Milan, imo!

Quite a highlight, this is more experimental than usual. i am really liking Maria Carla's heart dress.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Im Hyperventilating!!!!! This isnt just a show this is HEAVEN! I officially wanna marry Donatella. This is THE SHOW in Milan. Actually itll be the best show in the whole season. This is closer to what the old Versace looked like. The blue dress on Suvi is simply worth dying for. The dresses on Michaela and Abbey are so beautiful. I LOVED the hair and the makeup and the shoes and the bags and the everything! And yay for the circular runway again! I love it all!

Just beautiful and for me the highlight of Milan.
Love the heart details, the slick hair, the styling and the fact that Donatella is still evolving but still turning out classy, sexy clothes.
Minor gripe the floral dresses seem out of place
On the whole......fantastic and well worth the wait.

Best Versace collection in a long time.

The shapes were really innovative and new for Versace. The structured dresses were pretty brilliant.

I'm glad she didn't take it too far into tacky. It could have easily been a disaster with those heart motifs and sparkled dresses. But it wasn't.

LOVE IT AS WELL!!

The prints are very very very Basso & Brooke style. Donatella is finally looking to something new, keep going, Versace has never been so good... well , I mean in the Donatella's era.

It's very nice at the beginning but I hate the end.
Those dresses that look like collages are awful.

God, Versace's taste level improves every season. Love the molded, "leaf" form dresses. Donatella puts an end to the Milanese tackiness, even as Versace was once one of its most flagrant offenders.
