Welcome to Versace Icons, a brand new collection from the Milanese house that celebrates decades of dressing powerful women. While renowned (and obsessed over) for its graphic prints and its more-is-more gusto, Versace is also revered for its tailoring: There’s never been a sharper hourglass shape nor a sexier blazer. “I will wear every piece in this collection and have worn similar [such pieces] for decades,” says Donatella Versace. “These luxurious wardrobe essentials showcase the beautiful simplicity of our silhouette.” She also notes that there’s a clear feeling that comes with being, and wearing, an Icon: “Considered, confident and stunning,” says Versace.
Versace Icons launched in early April, 2023. See our highlights from the collection, below.
-
Greca Goddess mini shoulder bag
Classic quilting details stand as a backdrop for Versace’s iconic Greca hardware. Key feature: A leather strap can be adjusted for shoulder, crossbody, or hand-carry options. -
Medusa single-breasted blazer
Sharp-shouldered with a streamlined fit: This aesthetic is totally Versace. Think sexy, think powerful, think bold. -
Flared formal pants
The sleek fit of these trousers gets a visual kick through flared ankles. Another plus: These pants have a lengthening effect, making you look taller. -
Pin-Point pumps
A cantilevered heel, a classic pointed black pump. Dress them up for dinner, or wear them to the office, or mix them with jeans and a tee for a weekend look that won’t go unnoticed. -
Medusa ’95 midi dress
You can never have too many Little Black Dresses. Differentiate one of yours with this midi-length frock featuring Versace’s legendary Medusa hardware on the straps. An instant classic. -
Medusa ‘95 corset top
This midriff-baring corset top makes for a strong look, with hints of 90’s-era nostalgia, too. The Versace Medusa adds icon status. -
Medusa ‘95 wide belt
A graphic belt (in this case, with Versace’s Medusa closure) brings back turn-of-the-millenium vibes. What it proves: This house never goes out of style. -
La Medusa Greca hoop earrings
Made you look. These chic earrings combine Versace’s Medusa and Greca motifs to glamorous, unforgettable effect.
