Versace presented its Fall/Winter ’25 collection in a minimalist setting, allowing the brand’s visual language to take centre stage. The show was a blend of Versace signatures—sensual glamour and street-style references—all deeply ingrained in the house’s DNA. The overall collection subtly referenced Y2K, a period when a kitsch, maximalist, and sexy aesthetic dominated the market, and years deeply rooted in Versace’s essence. The dynamic collection also portrayed the image of a femme fatale, a figure synonymous with Gianni Versace’s vision from the very beginning.

Dresses reminiscent of duvets opened the show. Voluminous skirts with baroque prints created an intriguing interplay between structured and opulent fabrics that would follow. Visually strong motifs, signature elements of the brand, blended with all-black outfits, creating a striking contrast of styles. Golden accents added a touch of high luxury, while bedazzled pieces evoked a street-style aesthetic. Leather pieces, such as coats and pants, introduced an avant-garde vibe, while velvet appeared in body-hugging and voluminous dresses.

The brand’s codes were imprinted in both menswear and womenswear, nodding to a feminine vision of men as well as a masculinization of women’s wardrobes. Rhinestone-embellished low-rise denim jeans and jackets were worn by men, creating a bold take on masculinity. Pussy-bow shirts and blazers in pops of color displayed a feminine allure and a bourgeois aesthetic, contrasting with the overall feel of the show, which was rooted in the premise of Italian excess and personal expression.

Ruffles, far from being delicate, were given a punk aesthetic, while bustier tops and chainmail skirts explored sensuality and femininity. A series of three dresses with ample flared skirts in sumptuous velvet closed the show, showcasing the brand’s creative vision and construction prowess. Styled with rock-inspired leather gloves, the looks flawlessly embodied the overall essence of the collection, where edge and strength were expressed through clothing.
