The torture continues…

Not understanding this direction of 1980’s geek and the casting is odd. Why are we using a a Texan fit influencer?

At least we know that simply being fit doesn’t make a model. Cause the face looks tragic..

It feels as if they paste a nerd twink head over a gay p*rn actor body.

It's clear the Vitale guy is obsessed with 80's gay iconography, the mustache hunky guy image looking like it's coming straight from a safe for working segment of Colt magazine / TitanMen website. That guy could be mistaken for David Anthony's son (search at your own risk lol).
The main point most people from the fashion pack / people praising the current creative direction are missing is that Versace made its breakthrough as an cultural icon / symbol exclusively thanks to the 90's: the supermodels, the drama, the over the top glamour, the tackiness and opulency. Of course the 80's collection Versace helped the brand gain popularity and relevancy in the fashion conversation but no way it would have turned in a fashion / culture powerhouse it is without the collections from the 90's.
Versace to the average customers (the ones actually spending) is Linda Evangelista in a fluo colored vinyl minidress and Naomi Campbell in a leopard studded leather jacket, not this watered down version of Versace Jeans Couture and Istante by Gianni Versace.

What makes it all even worse is that branding is such a core part of Versace which makes it really susceptible to poor marketing decisions. And this redneck VHS mess is going to confuse the crap out consumers.

 

[reese06]

He did all that pretentious mood boarding to then hire a Grindr gay that isn’t even gay and doesn’t fit the image of the brand. At least Tisci makes sure his boys align with the branding of the house he’s created.

This is silly.

Still look relevant even today (back when the Versace men was also the Gucci men, the Helmut Lang men), not even Bruce can elevates this new mess. @justaguy

Too bad his return to Versace, under Donatella, wasn’t that great.
