lots of random pieces so my opinion is random about the collection. love some hate the others.

This is deliciously Gianni! Those golden prints and the straps and belts are Versace landmarks. While I usually wouldn't touch the pinks, this is making it awfully tempting

I don't think it's a coincidence that Donatella opens up the archive for Lady Gaga to wear some of the pieces from some of the most memorable and iconic Gianni collections and then this collection really takes it back to the archives with the print and details. Can't wait to look at the entire collection later.

Awesome! Its like Gianni Versace (the man) rose from the dead (just like his label).

Pure Versace. And at its best. And yes, it seems VERY Versace and the shapes may seem "dated" but truth to be told, Versace Uomo is for the I-dont-give-a-f#$@, confident man. And this collection embodies it.

Actually, it has lots of swagger but still seems a bit more demure than what Gianni did back in the day, which to me makes it oh-so-now.

It was clothes for many occasions, but still I wish Id seem more sporty looks or swimwear, this was too good an opportunity to pass.

boom POW! and we're right back in my childhood.

not 100% how i stand to that, since i still consider the early 90s as utterly horrible, fashionwise, but at least we got the 'Versace' feeling back that was missing with those pre-teens last season.

i tip my hat to full-fledged unapologetic fashion. as many have noted, this stuff rises to the level to make gianni versace himself proud. and it's about time. for so long, donatella has let the menswear at the house of versace lose sight of the very thing that made it so iconoclastic in the first place. and in a fashion environment that yields rainbow denim at bottega, beaded pastels at prada, madagascar florals at burberry, and every shade of python at jil sander, i have to give it to her: she's nailed quite the colorful moment in menswear....

but, i have to question the larger timing of this collection: if it's soley a marketing strategy, it's pure genius: we have lady gaga extol vintage versace with her "edge of glory" video in the same week that we learn of a sparkling new collaboration with h+m: so if this collection is meant as part of that campaign, it's glorious timing (what better way to educate an entire new generation of gay boys about the power of versace! however, this collection hews so close to the original versace that it looks nearly archival. and literal. and there's nothing wrong with that except that the world that gianni versace lived in and designed for no longer exists. when gianni originally dressed his men in those buckled pants and gilded sandals, we gobbled the stuff up. people pranced around south beach in it. seriously. like, not as a costume. like, they wore it seriously! and didn't stand out!!

but now, this looks out of step with the way that modern men choose to display their wealth, their fashion sense, nor their identities anymore. sure, the underwear will sell, and probably some of those bags and shoes, and i have my eye on a couple of those bracelets, but seriously, most of this stuff looks like it belongs in a museum exhibition. this collection needs to take the elements of this collection that recalled so vividly the glory days of gianni and synthesize them for the modern world (something they DID SO WELL in the womenswear recently). until then, perhaps they should tug anna's ear for a costume institute retrospective.

first Lady Gaga in Gianni Versace archive pieces, now men´s collection with references to Bondage 1992 collection... i only hope, Gaga won´t be the face of campaign - for women or men...

Awesome! So awesome!

hail to Donatella... love the vintage Versace vibe and those are amazing. I love the bold paterns and colors. For the past few seasons I wasn't really into their collections but this one simply amaze me!

Hadn't managed to see the whole collection and the video until now, and after seeing the first couple of looks posted I really thought we had something here........ultimately it just doesn't quite work.
As a Gianni retrospective, yes it works perfectly......as actual wearable outfits, mostly it doesn't. Totally uncoherent IMO, dated looks, with modern suits. Inspired accessories and then hideous gladiator sandals.....with socks. A total no-no. Even some of the models looked uncomfortable on the runway.
I admire the intent, but not the actual end result.
