Dario Vitale - Designer, Creative Director of Versace

[Demna]

Any word if the collection will actually be produced? With how it’s priced, it’s not going to be an easy sell.

It’s being produced.
Orders and special orders have been re-confirmed with retailers and clients as soon as the news came out.

I like this. He literally saved Moschino from irrelevancy after years of staleness under Jardini + Anna Dello Russo direction. He might have released tacky collections but we still remember them, it made an impact on his own. And I am sure his Moschino had much better commercial success than Appiolaza and Jardini, it was very merchandise oriented though. The fact that the only hit bag Moschino ever had was indeed from Jeremy speaks volumes.
In current fashion landscape, if you're not a big player, the only way to survive is to do pop / viral and Jeremy is a master in that. Look at Jacquemus, he is established thanks to his narrative, marketing gigs and that's exactly what Versace needs not to be eaten alive by the competitors.

Whoever from Capri thought showing this would have been a good idea...ugh.
Place these mannequins in a big mall and people would think it's Desigual. The striped high waisted pants paired with gaudy prints. The face photo prints. It looks tacky and undesirable at the same time. It's not even a good "in your face" tacky that you would want to flaunt, it's giving intellectual elevated tacky.

And isn't it what Prada will want to do?

Hell no to Jeremy Scott. His taste level is so questionable he only performs well when he's doing a parody or drawing from pastiche.

Am I silly to think that Kane could still be a relevant proposition for Versace in 2025?

You spelt Kanye wrong… 😉

Hell no to Jeremy Scott. His taste level is so questionable he only performs well when he's doing a parody or drawing from pastiche.

And I have always felt like he used his sense of humor to hide his lack of technical sense.

Versace and even more, High fashion at that height has to match some technical standards. We know people are buying sweatshirts, tshirts and jeans but we want to see Drapes, plisses, biais cut, chainmail etc and all the intricacy of design because that’s also a duty in HF.

Jeremy Scott needs to be busy reviving HEATHERETTE.

Surprised that Dario still went through with his “first public appearance” at La Scala last night with his Versace crew (Russell Tovey, Rina Sawayama, and Mahmood)

So Dario went to La scala with his celebrity friends all dressed in his Versace collection.
