BACKSTAGE

Gigi, Bella, and More Models of the Moment Hit the Versus Versace Runway in Donatella-Approved Party Gear

Photographs by Asia Werbel

It’s been two seasons since Anthony Vaccarello departed Versus Versace, the younger, hipper, edgier cousin of the already quite young, hip, and edgy Versace, for Saint Laurent, but the brand’s vision is as clear (and sexy) as ever under Donatella Versace’s guiding hand. It featured tiny skirts paired with exaggerated tops, long sleeves and high necks, and a healthy amount of oxblood breaking up its black-on-black color palette. The looks were glammed up with a Bowie-esque swipe of vivid eyeshadow across the brow in electric blue, pink, or deep black kohl. Bookended by the Hadid siblings — Gigi opened, Bella closed — Versus Versace was also filled with models of the moment like Sora Choi, Lineisy Montero, Stella Maxwell, and Vetements stalwart Paul Hameline (there was a bit of menswear in there, too). Go behind the scenes with Donatella Versace’s cast of party girls and boys at Versus Versace Fall 2017, here.
