If you're going to splash out on something luxurious, opulent and beautiful this season, make sure it's something from VERSACE's Spring / Summer 2010 collection.

 

Admittedly, Versace has never been my first 'designer brand' of choice... but after seeing their 'Alice in Wonderland' X "Baroque" themed collection, I've had a change of heart. Versace has really evolved over the years. What was once too 'over-the-top' and too flamboyant for most of us, is now hip, young, feminine, fresh and cooler than ever!

With celebrity offspring Georgia May Jagger (the youngest daughter of model Jerry Hall and the legendary Mick Jagger) fronting their campaign, it's a sign that Versace have youth in mind and those who are - forever young.

 

Chief designer and Vice President of the Versace Group - Donatella Versace - was stoked to Georgia May Jagger on board, saying "she's smart, a strong personality, beautiful, full of energy... and with that natural high star quality, I adore her! She's perfect for this collection - a real Versace girl."

If those are the attributes of a Versace girl, then I want to get in on it. Where do I sign up?!


For Spring / Summer 2010, there's that strong use of bold colourful prints synonymous with the Versace brand, mixing together and overlapping. The designs, from their garments to their accessories, are like architecture - thoughtfully and carefully created to give that WOW factor. There's a lot of detailing such as braiding, studs, chains and cones amidst a vibrant palette of brilliant yellows, purples, turquoise and pinks contrasted by lush pastels and metallics.


Versace is a statement. Versace is art.

What's more are the collection's accessories. Sky high 18cm heels; platform pumps, sandals, ankle boots and even boot-leggings that tie in with the theme - they too are full of character and full of colour. A visual feast.

This collection is currently in store at CROWN CASINO in Melbourne, Australia. And just to give you an idea of how much a 'splash' entails - those incredible platform pumps (shown above with the black dots on a yellow base with a turquoise threading) is AUD$1720 RRP whilst the small snake skin hand bag (above left) is AUD $2280 RRP.


Go on and treat yourself!
