[size=-1][/size]MILAN (AFP) - [size=-1]Second-skin dresses, plunging necklines and nipped-in waists: the key word for next winter is glamour at Versace, which presented its ready-to-wear collection, along with a few Oscar-ready gowns. [/size]
Donatella Versace knows how to attract A-list celebrities: US hip-hop star Missy Elliott and British model-actress Elizabeth Hurley sat front and center, along with designers Miuccia Prada and Canadian twins Dean and Dan Caten, who will present their DSquared2 collection on Saturday.
Versace cinched the waists of her outfits as much as possible to create a sharp contrast with the extra-large collars of overcoats and blousons.
Cigarette trousers were cut ultra-slim, while airy cocktail dresses brought to mind the iconic white halter dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in "The Seven-Year Itch".
Sultry siren gowns encrusted with Swarovski crystals -- part of the Atelier haute couture collection no longer shown in Paris due to budget constraints -- hugged the body. White is the color of the season, with acid green and turquoise providing a bit of punch.
Milan fashion week continues Friday with shows from Roberto Cavalli, Trussardi and Gianfranco Ferre. Dolce and Gabbana, Salvatore Ferragamo and Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti take center stage on Saturday.
