 
The mood at
the Versus show, which was set to the heart-pounding beats of electronic
band Les Rythmes Digitales, was as sexy and extroverted as ever, with celebrities
like Madonna, Rupert Everett, and Natasha Richardson seated front row center
at the sleek ruby-red runway. White was the dominant color of the collection,
accented with quick flashes of pink, gold, lime green, and Caribbean-colored
floral prints. Slim, straight-leg trousers and short skirts were shown with
slinky honeycomb tops and copper-zip jackets. Delicate embroidery, overlapping
layers, lavish beading, and high-heeled boots complemented Donatella Versace's
ultra-sexy silhouette. |
