VERSACE RELAUNCHES VERSUS

After a four year hiatus, Donatella Versace relaunches the young, contemporary label.

Milan - Donatella Versace is going back to her roots. [No, not those ones.] The blond fashionista and Creative Director at Versace has announced plans to bring back Versus,  the first collection she designed on her own for Versace.  Versus first debuted in 1989 as the younger, chicer, and less pricey sister line to Versace, but then shut down sixteen years later in 2005. After a four year hiatus, Donatella asked "it" Brit designer, Christopher Kane to create a small  accessories collection for the line back in February. The blingy, studded and rock and roll chic pieces he designed may be indicative of what we can expect for Versus' Spring 2010 debut. “The collection reflects Versus’ DNA," Versace told Womens Wear Daily, "and is aimed at young people who want to dress with their own style but like to evolve and break new ground.” [story and photo via fashionologie.com]
