This show was iconic. There was literally nothing new as this was entirely based on their wonderful archives but still it was gorgeous, wild and powerful. If only they had showed more of the Oroton dresses, they're always divine in motion yet all we got was that squad of supermodels standing.

As a whole it was an amazing and touching tribute to the work of Gianni. Of course it can be tacky, vulgar and tasteless, but it's full of energy and joy that Versace hadn't had since few years actually. They got a little bit lost and I hope this will be a new beginning.

20 years of Donatella and 20 years since Gianni left us...
This is a very emotional tribute but also a testament of the talent of a genius. Donatella has done an incredible job over those last 20 years.

What i find really amazing about it is that she has managed to make something cohesive out of those very different collections. This is Versace from 1991 to 1995 and it is amazing to see how with modern accessories, the whole thing doesn't look dated at all.

As i like to say, good clothes lives forever.

Gianni & Donatella's legacy has been so copied over the years that it was good to see her own her heritage back.

The cast was great, the show felt intimate even if i didn't like the cast.

I love the jackets. I want to buy a lot of things in this, only for my personal archive.
It's very emotional...
Next season, she needs to do a self-referencial tribute. She did a lot for fashion and had a lot of iconic moments. She/We shouldn't forget that.

The finale was great. A good fashion moment and i love that Michele and others designers were there.

Bravo Donatella!

Freaking amazing. I hope this isn't her last show, it's sweet that she did a tribute to her brother but she indeed did a lot for fashion and I agree with the feeling that she should do a self-referential tribute.

Since this show is too good to be true, i doubt that it also her last show.

It looks like watching Versace the old day but feel so fresh, so fierce.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

so you brought the supers back ... nice to see all that strength and curvaciousness.
too bad the clothes are still ugly

I was practically vibrating with excitement watching the live stream. Donatella threw down the gauntlet this season.

 

[Inlimbo]

Loved the show. I agree with all of you, but I think this is going to be her last show. I hope Riccardo (?)will celebrate her in the future.

This was such a best of collection. Does this mean that she’ll retire now?

This was such a best of collection. Does this mean that she’ll retire now?

I've read Simone Marchetti (who is an Italian fashion journalist) post on ig with the caption :" And then, Ciao". Which I've interpreted like a hint for Donatella's retirement.

I think it's really stupid that those iconic super models walk only during the end of the show. I wish Donatella would have used them during the whole show, like Dries Van Noten used his favorite models for his anniversary collection.

Well, it´s a Versace´s greatest hits collection.

It´s strange because it looks dated on the young new models...but it looks still fresh on the bodies of the 90s supermodels (they look amazing in metal mesh).

Time paradox?

Now, that's VERSACE!

The funny thing about Gianni's designs is that, when you strip away some of their context -- the super choreographed shows, the really va va-voom hair, the shoes, some of the styling, not to mention their iconic nature -- they actually hold up today as fabulous pieces to wear. All of those Barocco silk shirts and jeans, all of those technicolor coats and tailored jackets and mini skirts, the color blocked dresses, even the super simple but flawlessly cut evening columns would work just as well today as they did twenty or thirty years ago. And hell, even the pieces that can't quite shake their 90s image are still highly prized by the fashion obsessed, so I think it's not only very heartfelt for Donatella to essentially say "why bother messing with perfection" and re-release many of the pieces with few changes, but very shrewd, too.

Beyond all of that though this show and collection are exactly the shot of adrenaline that I've needed after so much fashion fatigue. It's not original, it's not recontextualized very much, it's not creative, and yet it still blows everything else that has set foot on a runway these past few years out of the water. Such is the power of good fashion I guess.

So fresh, so iconic, so great! I loved every moment of this show.
