Italian fashion house Versace will rejoin the exclusive club of haute couture houses after an eight-year hiatus, showing a spring-summer collection in Paris in January, organisers said on Tuesday.
“The Versace fashion house will be listed in the January 2012 schedule of Haute Couture collections,” the French couture federation, which organises the three days of shows from January 23 to 26, said in a statement.
Haute couture exists only in Paris, where it is a legally protected appellation subject to strict criteria such as the amount of work carried out by hand, the limited number of pieces and the size of a house’s workforce.
Versace sent out its last couture collection under the label “Atelier Versace” in January 2004.
Only a handful of major French houses show under the haute couture label — Chanel, Dior, Gaultier and Givenchy — joined by a number of smaller houses, as well as Italians Valentino and Armani, or the Lebanese designers Elie Saab and Rabih Kayrouz.

NOW I can say that Atelier Versace is back. I'm about to cry

It's a smart move really, the company is milking its current high-roll.

>> Versace, which hasn't appeared on the official couture calendar since January 2004, is making a return eight years later. The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture has announced that this upcoming January, the house will show on the first day of couture week, Jan. 23, in the first time slot. Versace never discontinued its Atelier Versace couture line in the interim, opting instead to produce still-life presentations for select editors from 2004 until this upcoming season. A Versace spokeperson had no comment. [WWD]

[thiago:)]

That sounds truly awful!

 

[DK92]

TRAGIC... Literally NOBODY asked for this, in fact Versace sales dropped in the year we had Dua's campaign!

 

[Benn98]

Lol always comical when brands overestimate pop stars, and worse still, thinking their followers have the spending potential to buy Versace.

Imagine if Donatella is actually resurrecting Versus for Dua.

Can she hurry up and retire already?

Can she hurry up and retire already?

And give her job to Tisci while she's at it. I want an Atelier Versace revival, but not under her.
