With much scrutiny following the news that Versace had been bought by Micheal Kors. Versace came to prove everyone that doubted the luxurious brand that nothing has changed and lack nowhere in the level of high fashion. Revealing their Autumn/ Winter 2019 collection with some black, white and red pieces with many bondage-inspired leather straps, it soon after got brighter with a range of hot pink jumpers and jackets, printed badge pins on trousers with striped shirts.

Being as it was Men's Fashion Week Versace like many other brands included some female looks also, gracing the catwalk with her beautiful presence and powerful walk Bella Hadid wore a bondage-inspired look with topstitched and crystal-embellished straps paired with a matching puffer coat.

Continuing with more stunning pieces to hit the catwalk such as silk boxing shorts with the embroidered logo and bold shades. Versace produced a collection that aims to create a conversation about what menswear is today by empowering people to explore and express the various aspects of their character through style choices.

Donatella in her words said, “What I wanted to show in this collection are the different faces of a man, who has gained the courage that he didn’t have before. If I had to find a word that defines today’s men, it would be daring.”

Reflecting on the modern concept of men and challenging notions and stereotypes Versace continues to push the boundaries that everyone is always so delighted to see.
