Menswear SS2011 Versace

Milan fashion week: Kaleidoscopic Versace

Expect to see some flashback ideas of the 80's in Versace menswear collection spring summer 2011 recently showcased on June 19 2010. House of Versace extracted the image of Bruce Weber's photography for the advertisement campaign circa late 80's and blend it with current trend of poise menswear.

Versace delivers rolled up slim pants, silhouted suits, and sophisticate blaszer with slightly shortened sleeves. Those designs are combined with details of studs, fringe and rockabily leather which gives 80's revival sense. Get ready to be wow-ed by the acid wash accents on pants and kaledoscopic rhythm prints repeated all over the suit. That print reminds us of the iconic versace prints in late 80's-90's era, but this time it is being vavavoom-ed to the future by using smaller prints on muted colour fabric.

Colours are dominated by black, grey, marron, and navy , while materials ranged from shiny fabrics for suit, sheer, to cotton and wool. For accesories, you can see some embelishment on the oxford shoes, like studs, and most important, the iconic medusa metal buckles.

Those design statement is also supported by runway area with full of black and white prints. Well, what do you think? 80's enough? Versace-ed much?
