Versace Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear

(smooth, energetic music)

(grungy echoing music)

Donatella Versace feels energized to me,

maybe it's been her whole experience with Versus,

but there was a real sexy, athletic physicality

to this new Versace collectsion.

You've said bold is more,

that's your kind of motto for this collectsion, isn't it?

What I was thinkin' is

to strip out things unnecessary

from the Versace clothes,

and be strong, simple and bold

which is a bit difficult to achieve,

but with this collectsion

I feel I see a new Versace woman.

Donatella embracing a sporty vibe,

and a kind of athletic vibe, was a fresh thing.

I felt the change for sure,

I mean, it wasn't her structured dresses with high slits.

I mean, we saw a few high slits,

but there was some sequins-y,

I don't even know what it would be, jewels?

[Tim] It felt simpler to me than usual.

[Coco] Very simple, it wasn't hugging

the waist all the time.

In fact, there's a few things

I'd be wearing during the day,

not necessarily always at night.

The collectsion is athletic for me.

I mean, I took pieces of sports,

like nets and cotton and jersey,

for jacket and shoes and pocket.

I went on, I went with a more believable

in the sense that she can wear these clothes

anytime in the day.

But at the same time, tough, strong DNA Versace.

[Tim] She thinks the experience of working

with Antony Vaccarellos has been

a very formative one for her,

and their, the Versus show in New York

was so successful, I'm wondering whether

that is sort of filtered into this collectsion, in a way.

Well, I think those two probably

have made the last few Vaccarello collectsions

I've seen in Paris, have been very short

and kinky and strong,

and sometimes Versace collectsions

have veered left and right for certain, like inspirations.

So this re-zeroing in on sex and sizzle

and like, short hem length,

I think those two kind of play a good ping pong match.
