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

From Dior Homme to Versace Menswear? Damn... that's huge a step down the ladder...

Im liking the look of this coat

Sure the clothes are nice, but it's been done before. And when Donatella (or whoever is designing) tries to be daring (the fading colour in the leather jacket), I'm not sure if it works.

I think they were desperately looking for someone to spice it up, I guess there´s a big change at the house of Versace, they are probably trying to re-shape the image of both lines, men and women (although this again looks like the good old, trashy versace that some of us loved to hate).

Also in terms of Martijn Bal, working as an assistant for Hedi doesn´t necessarily mean that he has all doors open, after all, he wasn´t the executing designer, non?

All I Can Say Is

Its Time To Hit The Gym

The Show Looks Amaaaaaaaaaazing. The Girls Are Sexy.

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...

maybe what you say its true but the women exits on this show are ment to keep the vibe going as far as i know so thats why i think they made them so exagerated, the female collection is what they will stand for next fall 06, so this sl*tty dresses for my are what the drag queen make up is for Dior.

The suites are strong. Im sure they sent out some for the awards season beninng tomorow.

This is a real improvement for Versace. Easy on the Elton John prints and easy on the eyes generally. Although I would never dream of buying anything from the house, hats off. Loving the colors more and more. After 2 years of seeing countless design houses push these shades, it looks like it's here for a while as quite a few have shown it once more. I'm really coming around to certain shades and looks great with grey.

I'm really feeling the purple invasion in Milan this season so far, especially at Burberry Prorsum...To me, Versace men just doesn't evolve, always the same tired old looks

The blue trench is EXACTLY like a Stella Mc. out this season.

Martijn left Hedi's studio years back and ended up designing Verri, which looked like washed down DH...

No, but atleast his career, as a designer, looked much brighter when he was with Hedi...

"Dior Homme" on the CV looks a little bit better than "Versace Men" don't you think?

 

[JuiceMajor]

Look samey to me....not sure what to think. Maybe just 'Carmen look fantastic.'

Why do most of the models look like they've got lock-jaw and some kind of squint?

Donatella Versace is clearly not involved with these clothes - either that or crack supplies are getting really low in Italy, which explains why both her and Cavalli have had better-than-the-normal-crap collections.

i'm shocked to see how ell-received this is with so many people. it looks like a mess to me.

jackets and slim-cut suits. dip-dyed things and velvet pants...it needs focus and a theme besides some sort of a futuristic self-assured demi-god. versace wants in-your-face? imagine how shocking less cleavege would be

it's sad that people want to look like a mafia greasebag
