Versace Spring 09

This is a very good collection, Donatella has shown us a complete package from swimsuits and innovative looks to unique silhouettes (similar to those seen in Calvin's collection) and elegant gowns. The best part about this collection is that it was cohesive and  fluid, despite the fact that we were seeing a full range of design skill and technique the collection still made sense. There was a subtle tone of elegant playfulness with the appearance of hearts on most of the dresses.

This is the unique silhouette that was first seen in Calvin's collection; quite interesting that it has shown up here as well.
Everyone has tried their hand at Grecian drapery this season but the difference is in the material. Silk chiffon enables the garment to move as elegantly as the woman wearing it.
This was the only dress where the hearts were displayed so aggressively, however the hearts were precisely scattered throughout the collection.
