VERSACE SPRING / SUMMER 2012

Versace collection was one of the most noticeable of all Spring/ Summer 2012 designer ranges. Sea-inspired it featured pieces in iridescent colors with sea shell and star prints. Shoes and bags were designed with the same theme in mind.

VERSACE MAKES A BAG I LIKE AT APRICE THAT I DON'T

We aren’t known to be the biggest Versace supporters at our site, but we’ve been feeling a it warmer lately. I know some people absolutely love the brand, but Donatella’s accessories almost always go over the edge of overt opulence; they’re often too ornate for my liking. However, upon seeing the Versace Structured Snake-Effect Leather Tote I felt true excitement. Sure, the overall design is simple, but the python print along with the coloring screams “fall statement piece.” (It also sort of screams “Valentino Fall 2011,” but that’s another post entirely.) The sad news is that PurseBloggers, we have a problem: the price.

VERSACE WOMAN LOOKS BOLDER THAN EVER ( VERSACE PER-FALL 2011 COLLECTION )

If for Spring/ Summer 2011 Donatella Versace sent her models down the runway in simple but very elegant dresses, for Pre-Fall 2011 the designer re-considered the image of a modern woman and dressed her in bolder colors, animal prints, and sexier silhouettes.

HANDBAGS FROM VERSACE 2011

I’m as surprised by this as you are, but the handbags from Versace Fall 2011 are more than a little great. The big, soft hobos in various textures and color combinations aren’t on-trend or directional or any of those other fashion buzzwords, but they do look like they’d be functional and wearable and all of those other buzzwords that matter to people who actually need to use their handbags.

My favorites were the quilted and re-quilted versions with plenty of decorative stitching, but it would be difficult not to also enjoy the burgundy crocodile and blue python iterations. And what of the bedazzled Medusa-head evening bag? I even loved it, if only for its unabashed, enthusiastic commitment to being as Versace as humanly possible

VERSACE FASHION SHOW : FALL WINTER 2011-2012 MILAN

Female pop rock soul than Donatella Versace. She too, like his brother John, created for the fall / winter 2011-2012, sensual clothes and tough. Maxi Baroque decorations by bold colors and inlay work come alive on the evening members dress showing her legs. The men's outerwear like coats of military inspired by big gold buttons hidden shoulder dresses embellished with fur collars, leather strips and floral prints that range from purple to yellow from red to green. All in a successful game of contrasts and reliefs.

VERSACE * SALVATORE FERRAGAMO * VALENTINO * SWAROVSKI

 Versace  The quartz timepiece is a more elaborate reinterpretation of the model that Versace first introduced in 2008. Its stainless-steel 39-mm case is coated in an IP yellow-gold treatment and features the Versace logo. A Medusa symbol, the brand’s well-known icon, adorns the black enamel dial at 12 o’clock. Mini spheres lit up by the Clous de Paris decorative detailing float between the outer bezel and dial. The floating beads create a theme of motion, changing position as the wearer moves. The watch is water-resistant to 3 ATM and is mounted on a black crocodile strap. The Destiny Spirit retails for $1,000

Salvatore Ferragamo introduces GANCINO charms to its collection. This timepiece has a distinguishing small pendant in the shape of the brand’s iconic gancino on the side of its case. The gancino symbol also appears in a diamond outline on the watch’s guilloché dial. There are 12 brilliant-cut diamonds set on the rotating bezel at the 3 o’clock marker.

The quartz movement is housed in a 36-mm stainless-steel case with an integrated crown. Other versions of the watch feature colored stones set on the bezel: amethyst, smoky quartz, rhodolite and citrine. Each of these versions comes with a strap to match its stone. The retail price for this watch is $1,700

 

 Swarovski Watch Collection at Baselworld in March, the brand continues to build its name in the world of watchmaking with the release of a limited edition series. The Octea Sport, one of the limited watches from the collection, comes in two innovative colors: Capri Blue Satin and Smoky Quartz Satin.

A functional timepiece, the Octea Sport has a unidirectional rotating bezel and is water-resistant to 30 meters. Also adding to the watch’s practicality is its rubber strap, which is constructed from six applied tone-on-tone faceted crystals in either Capri Blue or Smoky Quartz Satin. Distinguishable features, such as the Swarovski Swan at 12 o’clock and the Swanflower symbol on the case back and strap, make this timepiece a recognizable Swarowski creation. Limited to only 999 pieces, the Octea Sport will be available in late October, in time for the fall and winter season.

 Valentino’s Rosier watch has a unique petal design extending from a yellow-gold case with a brushed finish. The petal design is based on the iconic Valentino logo. A polished top ring surrounds the curved sapphire crystal. The dial features diamond indexes at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock. The timepiece has a Swiss made quartz movement with time-setting from the case back. The watch is mounted on a lizard strap with deployant buckle

VERSACE LAUNCHES JANUARY JONES EYEWEAR

Donatella Versace is clearly "mad" about Versace campaign star January Jones.

Following the Mad Men actress's provocative nude Spring 2011 campaign, the fashion house is paying tribute to the blonde beauty with a new eyewear collection called January J.

"I am always on the lookout for the next Versace blonde and in January I feel I have found a perfect Versace woman for the 21st century," Versace said in a press release.

"She is chic and elegant but deeply sensual too—it is a dramatic combination. January has been a good friend to the house of Versace and she looks wonderful in our Spring/Summer accessories campaign, so I thought it would be fun to name my new eyewear collection after her."

"Inspired by the glamour and chic sexiness" of '50s- and '60s-era movie stars (cue Betty!), Versace designed one optical style and two sunglass styles, including the cat's-eye Catwalk Sun Style featuring a 3-D Medusa logo detail.

Meanwhile, the optical glasses and second sunglass style sport a rounded shape and are available in red, tortoiseshell and black frames.

We can think of at least one housewife who would love these.
