Donatella Versace - Designer, Creative Director of Versace

For me, the debate of elegance and taste ends when I look at any of the interiors decorated in Barocco-print homewear. The kind of 'cribs' you would see in that infamous MTV show, complete with white marble everywhere, a garage full of expensive sports cars. You can say that the va-va-voom associated with the house of Versace is joyous, sparking of sexual confidence and all that, but the very essence of elegance in demeanor and fashion is that of *not* putting all the assets up on display - That’s why fashion icons most associated with supreme elegance are those connected to old money, aristocracy Hollywood or politics - Carolyn Bassette Kennedy, Lee Radziwill, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn or Tilda Swinton.

I truely believe the idea of elegance is linked to a very specific poise and cultural values established in bygone times - Which is why, despite all efforts, Balenciaga couture by Demna looks like playing dress-up in archive clothes at best and Kim Kardashian can put on the rarest jewelry and couture and at best be considered 'chic' but not being elegant - If that makes any sense.

He is so limited.

Do we need him to come in with outright reproductions of the archives? Lol

He also designs in the 2D. Very flat. I question if he has even taken a basic draping class. A Versace gown needs movement. And Fausto is like looking at a paper doll on the runway. Even Olivier Rouesting has improved in that department.

He’s hot though.

I wonder if alexandre vauthier could chart new territory for Versace. I personally would love to see what he could do if he were to have a chance to dig in and connect with the archives. He could elevate the house from its current public image

I just wanna see new vauthier shows again.


Lindsay lohan for versace!

Fausto Puglisi at Versace maybe? 🤣

Don't give recruiters and Versace HR ideas please
Versace HQ will turn into Americas Next Top Model diva level the second he steps inside
