We need Lindsay Lohan back in the game @ Versace.
They’ll be Lindsayphiles vs Phoebephiles.

We need Lindsey to front Miu Miu again too! So it will be LLXVersace vs LLXMIUMIU lol

 

[Squizree]

There's never a time when Lindsay Lohan isn't a good idea

I don't know much about Versace but do you guys consider Jeremy Scott a decent option?

 

[Kanzai]

LOL nvm, I think he would sabotage Versace 🥵😭. I just took a look at some of his collections for Moschino and I feel so guilty for the previous post.

 

[Norden]

Hahah such a 180.

 

[Squizree]

Absolutely NO to Jeremy Scott. Versace may be tacky, but it's not silly.

 

[Kanzai]

Can Mert Alas and Marcus duo design clothes? They got the right sensibility for the image of the house nevertheless. Tisci is a popular choice but I don't like him .

Hear me out: Ludovic de Saint Sernin for Versace.






His stuff may veer too provocative to most of this forum, but I think that he has built a convincing vision for sexy glamour. The bulk of his womenswear wouldn't feel too out of place at Versace and his Gaultier show has shown that he could deliver a good Atelier Versace. His menswear might need an extra dose of masculinity, but that's minor.

 

[Simera]

Yeah LDSS would be good, he definitely can do sexy. He just needs more color for Versace imo

Michael Kors’ guest stint delivered some of the best Versace we’ve seen in ages. I never touched Versace Uomo before; it was always unwearable trash. But MK pushed them to make collections people might actually want to wear.

Donatella, meanwhile, might be the most extravagant nepo case in fashion. In 30 years, she’s maybe turned out a few cute dresses - in the mid-2000s - but no truly great collection. Where are the timeless classics ? Donna should have a museums worth. Instead all we have are encrusted gowns that dont sell so now the couture is out of business.

And even now, the brand still runs on Gianni. The only thing they sell is his vision - revived and restructured by Kors. That reset became the formula, and they haven’t strayed since.

Julian MacDonald is an exquisite couturier. His collections had some pretty great moments.

Agree, he's very limited creatively but the spirit of his collections is very close to what Donatella did in the mid 2000s.

 

[jeanclaude]

God..Ludovic de Saint Sernin is using a font very similar to the classic YSL one.

And less dungeon underground used dildos, more LA pool party or the Ritz Paris glamour

He would so wear those tight dresses and corset himself, upstaging Donatella at the final lamo
My money on he wants to be Donatella more than Gianni

LDSS feels more like Versus to me, but with some maturing, it could totally work. I say it over and over again, Versace is for the woman and man that are completely into unapologetically being a woman or man, not in the sense of gender dressing, but in the sense of maturity. The Versace woman or man are not teenagers. I am in the small group that did not like Spring 2008 from Versace, but Tanya was like 16 at the time opening the show I believe people have said and she looked grown-up, powerful, and confident. I think that's the key to Versace. The sexiness comes from the comfortability and unapologetic attitude towards being an adult ... a grown-up comfortable in the body and not afraid to use it or show it.

 

[Kanzai]

Shouldn't Christopher Kane be one of the best candidates? He's talent and Donatelle liked him back in the Versus days.

He started off great, but it is very sad to see how his design language faltered and became too gimmicky. He is not right for Versace ... but then again Proenza Schouler at Loewe was not even a thought in my mind and here we are now.

I remember the time we did not have to worry about Dior, Chanel, Versace, or Gucci being stale or troubled. Now when MGC is finally out, Versace is messy and God only knows what is about to happen at Gucci. I am nervous for Dior and Chanel, too. Sad fashion times.

With the right styling, it could even work, please take Carine Roitfeld. Did they mention Tisci and Vaccarello? What do you think?

Or CCD styling, making it colorful and more fun, or George Cortina presenting some sexy naked men
