The new Versus Versace re-launch collection revives the luxe retailer's sister label with a fresh new aesthetic that takes a trip down memory lane. Paying homage to the brand's founder, the late Gianni Versace, this retro-infused collection of both men's and womenswear embraces opulence and excess.
Highlighting kaleidoscopic prints, sporty silhouettes and gilded chain and medusa textile patterns, this collection of casuals is an affordable way to achieve the bold and daring Versace style aesthetic.
After designer Christopher Kane's departure from the brand, British designer J.W. Anderson has taken on a creative role in the re-emerging label and has opted to redefine the Versus Versace aesthetic. Taking inspiration from global street style and eclectic urban attire, the designer creates the perfect balance of understated opulence in this collection of edgy casuals.
