Versace’s Spring/Summer 2013Collection Inspired by a strong approach to tailoring with a feminine edge, Versace’s Spring/Summer 2013 Ready- to-Wear Collection presents garments that are at once bold and feminine. Menswear-inspired jackets are worn long, featuring a relaxed fit with soft and delicate lace features cut into them, and little slip dresses in crushed silk and tie-dye tones of orange, blue, and fawn are embellished with lace and leather, while others are slashed and held together by criss-cross lacing. A fluid, less structured feel is achieved through the use of crêpe de Chine and chiffon, while the iconic Medusa tie-dye print appears like a flag on a little dress that drapes gracefully over the body. As ever with Versace, the details speak volumes: tiny metal chains hang from belts, while mixed metal embellishments shine on shift cocktail dresses. And for those dramatic after-dark occasions, evening gowns in tie-dye chiffon fit effortlessly and glisten with silver and gold fringing. 1 9 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
