Simply Abu Dhabi Magazine XXIII

1 9 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I MA1 flying jackets have astronaut attitude, while outerwear is embellished as if with space debris, and shearling collar denim jackets are like a space uniform. An iconic Versace astrological print is reworked and revitalised, while a star map Medusa print has been newly developed and looks perfect on jeans. Colours and fabrics refer to the galaxies, whether its metallic leather zip-ups in Neptune blue, double-breasted coats the beige of moonstone, and tweeds like the Milky Way. Unlined coats in double-faced raw-edged cashmere are the grey of the moon, the ultimate when worn with cashmere joggers. Cropped leather jackets are embroidered with patches, while lapel badges on coats and suits are like the emblem of a spaceship. Crystals decorate denim jackets and jeans like constellations of stars. Lace-ups have chunky soles but no instep, as if cut away, while trainers are like tech cycling boots. Bags come with their own protective covering. The new V-Race Driver watch makes its debut, with a special edition featuring a mother-of- pearl dial as if for the surface of the moon. It’s a bold collection and we certainly think Donatella has gone where no man has ever gone before with this line.
