Versace has always been about the power of presence. The kind of luxury that isn’t about quiet refinement, but about making an entrance so loud it leaves a trail of energy long after you’ve gone. Fall-Winter 2025 is that idea turned into a wardrobe.

Donatella is ripping apart the Atelier’s past, reconstructing it, and sending it down the runway with more attitude than ever.

The collection is all about contrast and energy—big, dramatic shapes mixed with rigid tailoring, luxe fabrics cut and reconstructed, and casually styles silk shirts.

Backstage, the energy reflected the collection. The models posed confidently, laughing, adjusting last-minute details, and most importantly, embodying the brand’s signature power.

The silhouettes are bold. Corseted ballerina dresses flare out on crinolines lined with archival prints, giving structure without feeling stiff. Quilted pouf skirts, oversized knitwear, and sharply tailored jackets take proportions to unexpected lengths, adding drama and movement. Menswear is just as impactful, with precisely cut tailoring, statement outerwear, and denim reworked with embellishments and textured finishes.

Fabric is a key component of the collection’s visual narrative. Velvet, a material tied to Gianni Versace’s early memories of watching his mother cut dresses, returns in structured suiting and draped corsetry. Leather is sharp and precise, denim is ripped, embroidered, and reconstructed, and silk is cut for movement. Now, the Atelier has stepped into the world of 3D design, introducing 3D-printed corsetry, metallic mesh, and chain mail reimagined into statement evening wear.

Prints come in strong—Barocco swirls, Medusa medallions, and cheetah spots thrown across tailoring, outerwear, and eveningwear. Menswear takes it further, pulling from Versace Home’s iconic neoclassical statues, duvet stripes, and wild animal motifs, cutting them into silk shirts, statement coats, and accessories. The color palette keeps the high-impact energy alive with gold, scarlet, ultramarine, and deep black.

That same sense of boldness carries through to the details. The new V-shaped emblem appears throughout the collection, stamped onto jewelry, belt buckles, and the season’s defining bag, the Virtus. Then there are the shoes—now a signature of the Versace atelier. They come in the form of towering banana-heel platforms, industrial metal-capped stilettos, and Medusa-adorned kitten heels that amplify every look.

Fall-Winter 2025 at Versace is about embracing the power of fashion without hesitation. Because Versace has never been about playing it safe. So step into the spotlight, take up space, and leave nothing understated.

Be bold. Be excessive. Be Versace!
