Recently at Milan Fashion week, Donatella Versace debuted her Ready To Wear Spring 2014 line. While florals for Spring may not exactly be cutting edge, Donatella kept the predictability to a minimum by infusing her bright pastel florals with rock and roll, bondage-inspired shoes and accessories.
Never one to shy away from originality, Versace also avoided conformity by contrasting the floral pieces with all black leather ensembles, a trend that is hardly heard of for Spring. Many of the outfits included loose and flowing fabrics, which were perfectly mismatched with tight or structured pieces. It is this unpredictability that makes every season of Versace a must-see.
While some wallflowers might want to shy away from the unique and embellished styles presented this year by Versace at Milan Fashion Week, one thing is for sure, these rock and roll outfits were made to stand out.
