Day four of Milan Fashion Week has truly been the gift that keeps on giving. Donatella Versace just closed out the fourth day of the Milanese fashion festivities, with a collection looking back into the rich Versace archives – in particular the Spring 1997 Versus collection. Tonight as dusk fell over the Italian metropolis, guests were ushered inside the historic Sforzesco Castle for the unveiling of the Versace Spring 2025 collection. Gigi! Mona! Anok! Vittoria! Angelina! All the top models of today were at hand to walk the courtyard runway within the majestic venue. A harmonious mix of patterns of floral and wavy prints on cardigans and sequin skirts. Hints of blue, brown, and metallics were splashed throughout the collection, infused with a 70s nostalgia. The iconic Versace Bright Crystal perfume bottle got an upgrade, transformed into an acetate clutch.
Versace Spring 2025 Collection Review
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“I’m so tired of Donatella at this point. Everything she’s done in the last decade has either been a sh*tty archive rehash or a even sh*ttier attempt at being ‘Sexy Prada’.” [LadyJunon]
“What a lovely Missoni collection.” [Magic Spells]
“What in the identity crisis was that? It looked like a bad Versus collection that has been rotting in the warehouse since late 90’s. The draping numbers towards the end were offensive. Donatella should retire.” [avonlea002]
“Embarrassing. Worst Versace show ever and the worst show of the season. It’s Missoni, with Miu Miu Arcadie bags and all the high school girlie charms attached. So Miu Miu from last year. Not a single decent look in sight.” [FashionPower]
“There’s no way this is Versace. It looks like a collection for a Versace girl who doesn’t want to retire. I see inspirations from Missoni and Miu Miu but dear Donatella, what works for others might not work for your brand.” [badgalcrush]
“More palatable than her recent collections.” [tourbillions]
“I really liked it! I think at this point, Donatella has used all the Gianni references she could, so why not have a look into her own Versus archives?” [Lola701]
