VeRSUs: Versace & christopher kane
VERSACE's 'VERSUS' diffusion line was created in 1989 and had a defined focus on innovation and flair. It re-launched in 2009 and with that came a new collaboration with British Designer Christopher Kane as the lines Designer, and Donatella Versace as the Creative Director. The youthful glamour fused with rock-chick look is the lines aesthetic.
The A/W 2010/2011 collection is filled with waist fitted and flared knife pleated prom skirts, sultry dresses cut from light weight silk and satin, paired with structured leather jackets and printed t-shirts to give it the chic rock look.
This collection is Christopher Kane's second collection for Versus. The collection is based on the 1990s rock ‘n’ roll culture for the edgier woman in us.

Collaboration was also brought in from photographer Bruce Webber’s tinted photos for the Versus brand tees.In 1991, Peter Lindbergh shot an iconic cover for American Vogue. The feature involved all the supermodels of the time from Cindy, Naomi and Cristy amongst others. They were styled with black leather biker jackets and little pleated skirts from the Versace range.
This Versus A/W 2010-2011 collection also features the 1991 Peter Lindbergh photos of models Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell that were silk-screened on to t-shirts and bags using a stone-washed effect that were matched with mini puffy satin-pleated dresses.
