Grounded in collaboration, Versace emerges in new art forms through Versace Embodied’s second chapter. Dance, photography, and illustration translate as the house’s dialogue through the visionary work of artists Drake Carr, Liv Liberg, Jeff Mermelstein, Momo Okabe, and Doug Ordway.

Chapter Two’s first piece, Love Theme 4:55, drawn by Drake Carr, places interdisciplinary art of dance and live drawing on canvas, capturing the energy of the body in states of tension to fluid grace.

The newest unveiling follows Chapter One, which launched in September 2025 under Dario Vitale’s direction, who has since stepped down from Versace shortly after the Prada Group acquisition in December. The project breaks the industry’s typical campaign mold by uniting artistic expression with the house’s core values through a collective of international talents.

“Not a campaign, but an evolving conversation,” the Versace house notes, “giving space to those who fearlessly drive culture to create without inhibition. Their work, an intimate dialogue with Versace, producing an original response to the values at the heart of the house.”

Photographed by Doug Ordway in the 1990s, this Versace archive image reflects the photographer’s defining legacy and collaboration with the house since 1990, impactful images that underscore strength and sensuality.

Other pieces in the collection include Liv Liberg’s Family (2026), a tender study of matriarchal bonds; Jeff Mermelstein’s A Night at La Scala (2025), capturing the charged immediacy of urban life; and Momo Okabe’s Colours of Lights (2026), a raw exploration of identity and intimacy.
