Versace Mens F/W 06.07 Milan

[Pastry]

so far..so kinda bad..is it the lighting or are they doing that degrade/dip-dyed thing again? it looks a little passe

 

[Begon]

To me that looks hideous, funny thing is I just saw it a few days ago on men.style.com. One of the basketball jerseys in the "10 worst basketball jerseys ever" had it.
lol

I went to the show it was really amazing!
Here’s what we saw:
The new black – but more so: blue, blue, blue. This color characterizes the Versace Uomo Fall/Winter 2006/2007 collection, the color of a strong, simple, and heroic concept of masculine beauty. From carbon paper blue to microchip-blue, from inky-blue to amethyst with a sophisticated tinge of burgundy – blue in all its glory is the hue of the Third Millennium, perfectly attuned to the cut and proportions of the finest tailoring. Trousers are made to seem slimmer than ever by jackets with squared shoulders, angular, well defined and structured but without recourse to padding. This new shoulder Is what identifies the “Y” line of the Versace male, reclaiming his masculine DNA. Sexy, statuesque, utterly sure of himself, as handsome as a global star, this male icon launched by Versace in the Eighties makes a triumphant return to the scene, destined to repeat his previous triumph thanks to the touch of the Medusa. Outerwear follows the line of the body, flattering but not exaggerating the shape, lengthening the silhouette, leaving nothing to chance. The slanted cut of the more informal trousers transforms legs into columns, solid structures which are nevertheless endowed with boundless agility. Lines that at first glance seem deceptively simple are actually determined by the idealized physique of a contemporary demi-god, counter-pointed by the richness of detail featured in the magic double act of knitwear and shirts. Collars and buttonholes are trimmed with leather for extra strength; there are patched stretch pads on biker blousons, an interplay of overstitching and more patching (sometimes even in astrakhan) on some knitwear – the overall effect is one of opulence that never fails to be dynamic. The patterns include new visions of a winter garden filled with transgenic flowers in rich and gorgeous colors. Quintessential to the look is the use of fading effects (even on eyewear lenses) and the choice of full bodied fabrics that avoid all rustic overtones – structured, never flat, always redolent of luxury. The use of the same fabric in different weights for suits and coats adds further emphasis to a collection created to revitalize a classical style for the Versace Man.

What the hell. Just when I think Donatella has gotten away from the coke she suddenly scores some more rock.

thanks for the inside scoop......
i really like the colours actually...
though they seem more purple/amethyst from the pics posted here than blue...

seems like versace is re-visiting their 80's hits...
which i really don't mind since that was probably the strongest period for versace...
it's almost refreshing to see them go back to their roots...

 

[happyguy]

oh my god!!!

this collection is to die for!!!! LOVE IT!!!! can you say ...STYLE?! Donatella has done a good job once again.CHEERS! cool...suave...loud but it doesn't shout...tad futuristic <which is cool cool cool!!!> one HOT collection!!! SHape..colours...beautiful!

 

[tricotineacetat]

Wow, these are some very sl*tty designs for women, and that after such a successful, restructured F/W 2005... well, it might just be true to her style...?!

As for the men, word is that a certain Martijn Bal is now working as a senior menswear designer over there *cough*...

 

[liberty33r1b]

^i wouldn't call the designs "sl*tty", really......!

 

[Salvatore]

At first glance this collection looks terrible, but the more I look at it, the more I love it. It's just charged. This totally makes me excited for the women's show. It's Versace in space!

And I don't find the designs sl*tty. They're just sexy. I really like the dress on Natasha Poly!

 

[Spike413]

I really am loving the color palette, it's really quite beautiful, and I think it gives a kind of sobriety to otherwise very in-your-face clothes.....kind of a mix of over the top and elegant.

The womens clothes are flashy and trashy and fun to look at, besides, they're just show pieces.

 

[yourbestfriend]

I dont know, I hate the whole two tone colour effect they have going on the jackets. Like a cloud of spray paint or something...

 

[tricotineacetat]

^i wouldn't call the designs "sl*tty", really......!

Pardon me, but what is that short, see-through knit dress-thingy, if not sl*tty-looking? I don´t know, but that howle look, full-on leather with tigh-high boots, long, open hair and big shades, it´s just by far too ridiculously looking either to be taken serious.

All of this looks too overtly sexual in my eyes. True, Versace might not be the most subtle of design identities but I think that F/W 2005 really showed the best of shows - and proposals for women - that they had in AGES...

 

[AlexN]

and the problem with this is???

Coke is very bad for you.

My thoughts on the collection...
