Homecoming for Versace

1 Jul

An emotional Donatella Versace took Atelier Versace couture back to the Ritz hotel in Paris today.  This was the last place she saw her late brother Gianni.  In 1997 Gianni staged his last show at the Ritz just two days before he was murdered on the steps outside of his Miami home. The highly anticipated F/W 2012-2013 collection remained true to the typical Versace aesthetic, silhouettes that celebrate the female form.  Billowing chiffon, corseted bodices and metallics were bold, bright & beautiful.
