Dario Vitale - Designer, Creative Director of Versace

[PDFSD]

I'm rooting for Dario, but if they want to continue with Donatella's sleek and high glamour style they could hire Ludovic...look at the video of the Zara collaboration that came out today...

Slim picking season:

I think his technical ability and vision wise is to limited one trick pony, his JPG was one of the worst in ideas and execution.

I rather have Pieter /PM guy lol and i don't even like his work but he is good enough for Versace clean up.

I know he’s definitely limited, but I think all these new designers are limited. They have one successful idea and they stick to that without trying everything new, that’s why I appreciated Dario’s debut, because even if lot of it didn’t work or was “high” enough, he did try to do something different. I don’t agree about Ludovic/Jpg, I appreciated the fact that he chose a theme and stick to it, making a real collection and not a best of. The difficulty with versace is that you absolutely have to work with colours and prints, and I can’t see him or Pieter or nobody else working with them!

LOL another image from their website that looks like it's coming straight from a gay erotica magazine from the late 80's: the twunk model (with gay p*rnstar mustache of course) flexing his bicep vein, the high waisted jeans, the super tight white t-shirt to highlight abs, biceps and pecs.
Dario should be aware that only people interested in this aesthetic are fashion intellectual / pretentious gays and those only wear Prada / MiuMiu, they wouldn't even dare to touch anything Versace.

Bringing PM to Versace would be a mistake.
The whole point of purchasing Versace was to diversify Prada's portfolio.
If they want to sanitize Versace and give it to a bestie of Raf, they will end up with a Prada-Jil Sander-Helmut Lang situation.
Different houses catering to the same clients. Bad strategy.

Leave Dario do his thing. He had the balls to do something unexpected.
We all know what PM will do at Versace.
It hasn't begun and it is already boring.

Time will tell :-)
Also sexy versace can still be smart and not step on prada women's saffiano kitten heel or miu miu new balance suede sneakers/ballerina´s.

Versace can be the high heel pump that's not from the sex shop.

Brand position is clear all 3 can be smart while have there core niche : the mistress , the lady , the lolitta nerd

the mistress / multitaskers the lady /intellectual provocateur the lolitta /college nerd girl


The Trinity is clear to me, i am sure for Prada as well.

Donatella´s own words :

Gianni’s ideal woman had a life that consisted mainly of chic cocktail parties. Her frivolous pleasure was to transgress boundaries of mainstream taste and provoke with flamboyant hedonism. My Versace woman is a multitasker with a job and a family. She’s mostly looking for clothes that can be worn between seven in the morning and seven in the evening—perfectly tailored, a whiff of glamour, but without bombast. She uses fashion as a corset for her self-confidence, not as a means of provocation. To sum it up in a sentence, Versace’s fashion has become more realistic.

Hum the male model is a a model, but it’s pretty obvious the two women are Gianni workers who presumably tailored and assembled the suit…
Or I am being wooshed ?

Now that you said it, it makes a little bit of sense. But WTF are the workers exactly doing in that pic? One seems to be touching with disdain something that looks like a zipper...while the other does nothing at all. Feels more like "We don´t want to work at Versace, but we are forced to do so"...!

Aside your fashion intellectual / pretentious gays, I can totally see tons of soccer players in those looks, once they grow tired of their LV/Amiri/Casablanca.

I agree with you but...will those people ever get tired of flaunting status symbol LV or wearing Casablanca immediately recognizeable silk prints?
The Versace look gives indeed very David Beckham circa 2003's (but make it more nerdy)
