Mood board: In a season where political statements have been conveyed using emotive slogans, Donatella Versace’s unity-focused collection featured words including ‘Loyalty,’ ‘Quality,’ ‘Love’ and ‘Courage’, emblazoned on scarves, beanie hats and shirts. Having recently shifted its aesthetic into sportier territory, the house presented sporty knee length dresses with pleats and geometric prints, exquisite tailoring and delicate floral embellishments.
Best in show: A beautiful juxtaposition to the sportier and more feminine silhouettes on show, the show opened with a series of tailoring looks, including a double-breasted jacket and trousers, which were infinitely elegant.
Finishing touches: Sandals came with sporty neoprene and embellished floral details, while colourful leather bags had plaited straps that resembled Scoobie friendship bracelets.
