For resort, Donatella Versace reprised the Versace emojis she introduced for fall on sweatshirts emblazoned with bright letters that spelled out the house name and the Medusa image. There were also lingerie-inspired slips and tailored jackets spliced with micro-floral printed panels for a nice contrast of structure and fluidity.
The collection’s emojis, bright colors — acid green, pink and yellow — and shower-sandal slides were the kind of bright, kitschy stuff that make a kooky picture that may or may not generate a lot of “likes,” but it all felt like a desperate bid to communicate with youth. Versace already has a very defined language of sexy confidence and chic swagger, which was lost in translation in this collection.
