Versace S/S 2009 Milan

[kimair]

I hate the printed pieces. It's a combination of being sick of florals and just not feeling any desire to see Donatella use them. Ever.

i totally agree...
i also wasn't crazy about the printed dresses from f/w...they seemed thrown in at the last minute, not as cohesive as the rest of the collection...
besides that, this is a really gorgeous collection, and i love the new direction donatella is moving towards...

Loving the shapes. Very paper/origami like.

Wow. Donatella really out did herself now. This is the best I've seen of all of Milan, imo!

Quite a highlight, this is more experimental than usual. i am really liking Maria Carla's heart dress.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Im Hyperventilating!!!!! This isnt just a show this is HEAVEN! I officially wanna marry Donatella. This is THE SHOW in Milan. Actually itll be the best show in the whole season. This is closer to what the old Versace looked like. The blue dress on Suvi is simply worth dying for. The dresses on Michaela and Abbey are so beautiful. I LOVED the hair and the makeup and the shoes and the bags and the everything! And yay for the circular runway again! I love it all!

 

[Northern Star]

Just beautiful and for me the highlight of Milan.
Love the heart details, the slick hair, the styling and the fact that Donatella is still evolving but still turning out classy, sexy clothes.
Minor gripe the floral dresses seem out of place
On the whole......fantastic and well worth the wait.

Best Versace collection in a long time.

The shapes were really innovative and new for Versace. The structured dresses were pretty brilliant.

I'm glad she didn't take it too far into tacky. It could have easily been a disaster with those heart motifs and sparkled dresses. But it wasn't.

LOVE IT AS WELL!!

The prints are very very very Basso & Brooke style. Donatella is finally looking to something new, keep going, Versace has never been so good... well , I mean in the Donatella's era.

It's very nice at the beginning but I hate the end.
Those dresses that look like collages are awful.

God, Versace's taste level improves every season. Love the molded, "leaf" form dresses. Donatella puts an end to the Milanese tackiness, even as Versace was once one of its most flagrant offenders.

I can't wait for detail shots, the dress on mariacarla seems to have something very interesting going on. I absolutely love this collection. It's modern and sexy, without any hint of pre-2006 versace vulgarity. It's still boldly Versace though...a perfect fusion of Versace's past, present, and future.

gorgeous

I have a weakness for hearts and so much of the heart pieces are so fun

 

[Merveille]

This is absolute UNDENIABLE BEAUTY!
This collection manages to be totally buyable, editorial ready (PERFECT FOR EDS), GORGEOUS, and progressive at the same time!
What has suddenly given Donatella such a creative spark lately??!?!?!
This TOTALLY saved Milan for me (and I was getting worried).

Donatella really knows how to do it! Beautiful collection...
But at the same time I like I feel like it's a continuation of HC F/W 08... I don't know if it's good...

Donatella's work has been improving these couple of seasons! I love it that she's trying prints - and I do find her prints beautiful. Not as much as I loved the f/w08 cityscape prints, but the beach prints are really cute and not tacky. And I love how wearable the origami style pieces were.

Versace is now officially one of the shows I look forward to in Milan - besides Bottega, Prada, Jil Sander and Gucci .

Love the hair and make up! Everyone looks so radiant!

I think I like the white pieces the best...I love all that zipper detailing! I also really like the metallic stuff, too. I'm not quite as fond of this print as I was the FW 08 print.
