Paris Couture Week...Versace
Versace kicked things off
in splendid fashion, at Paris Couture week, for the first time since Donatella
Versace's brother Gianni died, the Italian fashion house returned to the glory
of the Ritz Hotel to showcase their beautiful collection. The line was inspired
by the imagery and decoration of tarot cards, as well as powerful symbols like
the sun and the moon. It all nods to a bright future. The collection
highlighted Versace's love of Red Carpet gowns, exposed skin and imaginative
design.
Today, Versace is one of
the world's leading international fashion houses. Versace designs, markets, and
distributes luxury clothing, accessories, makeup, and home furnishings under
the various brands of the Versace Group. In 1994, the brand became a household
name after the widespread coverage of the Black Versace dress of Elizabeth
Hurley. Gianni Versace was killed on July 15,1997. His sister
Donatella Versace, formerly vice-president, then stepped in, as creative director
of Versace and his older brother Santo Versace became CEO. Donatella's daughter
Allegra Versace also owns 50 percent of the company since 2004 as wished by
Gianni in his last will. Allegra also has the last say of the sale and other
important details in the Versace clothing line. Versace's Style Department
employs a group of designers and stylists who work in teams. Each team is
specifically dedicated to each fashion line or label. These teams operate under
the close supervision and guidance of Donatella Versace
Versace opened Paris
Couture Week and they definitely did not disappoint, the front row was filled
with the fashion A List including Jessica Alba, Elizabeth Banks and Olivia
Palermo. Versace is one of the go to brands for the Hollywood A List and I'm
sure we will see a number of these dresses on the red carpet in the coming
months and I for one will be looking forward to it.
