2 0 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I V E R S A C E Versace Menswear Autumn/Winter 2014 R esplendent in leather and hide with tailored cuts and quirky detailing, the Versace autumn and winter collection is a barrage of high-octane style with a distinctly Western theme. Biker jackets and studded apparel mingle with long coats and neckerchiefs to bolster a bold, leather-rich collection with a strong and playful style that accompanies a rich, solid palette. Jacket combinations are classic in browns and reds, with layered effects and traditional cuts overlaying extravagant printing and busily detailed outerwear. Overcoats hint at the long cowboy dusters of the 18th century, with neckerchief and gauntlet accessories, but clever patterns and palettes add a more contemporary feel and keep the overall feel fresh and vivid. Classic tuxedo styling meets layered formalwear, paired with a rich array of patterned, printed or embroidered shirts, balance this look, with leather and fabric short cut jackets also making an appearance. Intricate and playful details, such as embroidered horseshoes, cactuses and sheriff badges are mixed with classic motorcycle prints, frayed fringes and some South American inspired motif styles.
