Military Fashion from Versace for Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012

I was surprised to see how much of military style can be in Versace fashion. For Fall/ Winter 2011/ 2012 fashion season Donatella created loads of garments in strong sharp silhouettes with big golden buttons on solid black and blue canvases. However, the pieces were very feminine despite all those strict mannish details.

Another inspiration for the Fall/ Winter 2012/ 2012 collection Donatella drew from her brother Gianni Versace’s earlier works. Baroque curlicues were featured on majority of dresses with a flower being the most popular print. The contrast of colors was amazing. Flowers looked like the unexpected brightness coming from nowhere of the dark and gloomy background.
