Weekly obsession: Versace Ornamental Collection
An ode to Milan
Versace's Ornamental Collections features primary colours, a touch of gold and bold architectural prints.
Paying homage to Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Versace puts forward an Ornamental Collection featuring bright high-top sneakers and bags with its unmistakeable trademark of bold baroque prints and Medusa emblem.
The main focus of the collection’s prints may strike a nostalgic note with jet-setting shoppers who are familiar with the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II as it prominently features the underside of the Galleria’s iconic hemispherical iron and glass dome
The underside view of the Galleria’s cupola is highlighted on all sides of this Versace tote bag.
The brand’s choice of homage is hardly random but reflects its close ties to Italy’s fashion capital and the Galleria. Versace first opened its doors in 1978 in Milan where it now plays a role in the restoration of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the oldest and most prominent shopping arcades in the world, along with other high fashion brands who have invested in refurbishing various historic sites in Italy, including the Colosseum in Rome and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
The Ornamental Collection features Versace’s signature baroque print in shades of gold, cream and black against the stark red cupola of the Galleria and its iron frames as well as hints of indigo.
A standout in the Ornamental Collection: Versace’s high-top sneakers with the cupola print wrapped around the ankles and Medusa plaques on the tongues is one of the pieces from the collection to watch.
For sneaker collectors, here’s a statement pair to consider.
The Versace Ornamental Collection will be available in May 2015 in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and onwww.versace.com.
