It’s no secret that\u00a0Versace<\/a>\u00a0is one of my favorite fashion houses of all time. Its one of those brands you either love or hate\u2014something I admire in anything or anyone.

(Speaking of: waffles sound delicious right about now.)<\/p>\n

It’s also no secret that I have a predilection for society’s perception of hot. What is\u00a0sexy<\/a>? What is\u00a0femininity?\u00a0Is it possible to be a feminist even with such ideals<\/a>? The short answer:\u00a0yes.<\/em>\u00a0To get there, however, is neither simple nor so straightforward; I’m still at the beginning steps of figuring it all out.<\/p>\n

When I see Versace, I see both Jessica Rabbit and a woman unafraid of being a woman. As Harry Winston once said, if they must stare,\u00a0make it worth their while<\/em>. It’s as if she says\u00a0look, I dare you<\/em>, unfazed. What is attention but a fleeting moment of boost in ego?<\/p>\n

This is the Versace woman:\u00a0unabashedly feminine, sensual and at peace with her sexuality.<\/strong>\u00a0She has and will always be; under Gianni she was this pretty bombshell, and under Donatella she became a more mature version of her younger self. There’s a little more power, a little more strength\u2014two qualities that seem to be present when a woman designing for women\u2014but at the core of things she still remains true to her\u00a0self<\/em>. Few houses who have undergone change in leadership remain genuine to their brand’s original vision; Versace is one such rarity.<\/p>\n

\"versace-fall-2012-couture-1\"<\/p>\n

This fall 2012 show was Versace’s first full-force haute couture\u00a0runway<\/em>\u00a0show for years, held at the Ritz Paris, no less, where Donatella’s brother had always shown. It was only appropriate the front row was filled with celebrities\u2014Jessica Alba, Elizabeth Banks and Fan Bing Bing to name a few\u2014as it was a production:\u00a0“Showgirls on the Red<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Carpet,”<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>the flashing LED sign would have read.<\/p>\n

Not<\/em>\u00a0to be mistaken as some burlesque or more risque sort of an event, though it’d be just as sexy, as one would expect.<\/p>\n

\"versace-fall-couture-2012-2\"<\/p>\n

Bohemian mermaid<\/strong>\u00a0and underwater goddess<\/strong>\u00a0were what came to mind. It was glamorous without a doubt, yet it was glamour done in an unconventional (for Versace) sense. If I were to compare to another designer, there would be Cavalli influence that lends the collection its\u00a0Ibiza\u00a0feel. Nothing was\u00a0ostensibly\u00a0gaudy where it would make the clothing appear over-saturated and gaudy. Instead it was light.\u00a0Ethereal<\/em>. Airy, I would say, but airy wouldn’t be fitting; this was languid. Luxe but weightless, like how you feel when you’re underwater and all you see is endless blue and specks of color. It’s the Mediterranean Sea, the coral reefs by the Caribbean shores, the ocean reflecting moonlight or the approach of dawn.<\/p>\n

The clothes were striking. Hair was classic, makeup was pretty, arms and necks were left bare. Any bit of sparkle was less glitz and more natural. Details were subdued, and sequins definitely more refined, catching only glimpses of light to mimic the shimmers across the tops of waves. The end result was something beautiful and exotic:\u00a0these girls were dream girls<\/strong>. Untouchable, floaty, gorgeous, sensual.<\/p>\n

\"versace<\/p>\n

It wasn’t just the soft color palette of oceanic hues that read underwater goddess\u2014it was the manipulation of innovative fabrics. The “finest, hi-tech Japanese polyester” was used to create these shimmery, seemingly floating skirts. The effect was lightweight and languid, breezing about mid-air as each model walked the runway (Vogue.com).<\/p>\n

And yet there was enough structure in each piece to complement the ethereal. Donatella was able to incorporate one of Versace’s signatures: complex piecing and patchworking of fabrics gave the illusion of exposing maximum amount of skin whilst hugging every contour of the body. On lithe bodies the effect was sinuous. Crystal-laced chiffon\u2014the number of the night being the nude dress in the center below\u2014and patent leather fastened into corsets and trenches (see the pastel yellow number above) made of perforated leather were the themes of the collection: this was more so sensual than it was explicitly sexy.<\/p>\n

\"versace<\/p>\n

It was so very classic and true to Donatella’s reign which was what I loved most about it.\u00a0Shimmering, light, sensual, complex.<\/strong>\u00a0A slight hint of bohemia that offsets the incredibly glamorous sex appeal.<\/p>\n

According to Versace’s program, the inspiration was derived from the design of tarot cards (Vogue.com). I see that too, understanding the reference by way of Roman numeral\u00a0XIX<\/em>\u00a0studded belts and the air of mystery cast by side-swept waves, set to \u00a0intentionally cover half the face…<\/p>\n

There’s an otherworldly beauty about it all.<\/strong><\/p>\n
