The Versus Versace Spring 2015 collection was designed by Anthony Vaccarello who was enlisted by the label's matriarch Donatella Versace. Always synonymous with youth and rock-and-roll, Versus went back to its roots with their latest, 90s-inspired collection.
The New York Fashion Week presentation featured a predominantly black palette that was infused with hints of printed fabric. Black and gold detailing adorned each of the collection's pieces that included edgy jumpsuits, mini dresses and flowing trench coat garments.
In addition to these pieces, the latest Versus Versace collection also featured show-stopping blazers that were paired with the label's signature lion head iconography. This lion detailing accented belts, chain-link tops and even cut-outs on the collection's most revealing pieces. Overall, the collection looked to the 80s and 90s for inspiration and was a blast from Glam Rock's opulent past.
