Ever since Gianni died, the Versace label lost its luster. You never hear men on the red carpet say, "oh, I'm wearing Versace." Even rappers have moved on from the label.
But these medusa pieces are incredible. It's the right balance of flashy and substance. The Versace man demands to be looked at but do not want to be stared and glared at, which the classic Gianni pieces used to do. Those silk print shirts were a desperate cry for attention.
With a depressed economy that hasn't fully recovered, less truly is more. And it seems that after years of not listening, Donatella has gotten the memo.
YES
Donatella, you are back girl. Don't f it up. You're only as good as your last collection.
NO
If you're Easter European or Chinese, then Versace has never really fell off your radar. You will rock gold studs and medallions til the day you die. Rock on.
MAYBE
The economy will rebound and then some and the classic Gianni silk shirts will make a comeback. I hope so because I have a few in reserve.
