This is what LEGENDARY looks like, Donatella Versace’s power move at fashion week is a moment that we’ll remember for decades to come. A celebration of a genius, Gianni Versace, and an opportunity to do something.

It has been twenty years since Mr. Versace tragic death; as he was shot and killed on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion. Just in time for the anniversary of his death, Donatella Versace created her Tribute collection, an ode to the work of her brother, Gianni Versace. Debuted in Milan, this collection is “Versace past through the eyes of Versace present”, said Vanessa Friedman, New York Times Fashion critic.

In the archives of 1991 and 1997, she presented a collection that celebrated 12 classic prints created by Gianni Versace himself. Including the “Warhol”, the animalière (leopard), and the baroque. Every garment labeled with notes of the collection origin and year. As the basis for this collection, the new silhouettes spoke loudly as an unrestrained spirit.

“The difference between my brother and me is I also love women and think clothes are a good weapon to show ‘here I am, look at me,’ ” she said, “But for me, it’s not ‘look at me, I am so gorgeous,’ but ‘look at me, I have something to say.’ (NYTimes)

Classic prints and your favorite ‘90s supermodels, who could ask for more.

With rumors circulating that Donatella was going to step aside as designer and name a successor, she knew the risks that would become her spring women’s wear fashion show. “This is not my last show, I’m not leaving the company,” she had announced back in Via Gesù. Completing her take on her brother’s work, the Tribute collection is so much more than a collection. The Tribute collection is Donatella’s liberation as a statement of what is next to come.

Versace invented the supermodel, selecting a few chosen models to elevate them to Gianni’s ideal glamazon. These elite models became goddesses, creating draped dresses for the perfect women to wear them. Ms. Versace invited her brother’s favorite five original supermodels- Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen, Naomi Campbell, and former French first lady Carla Bruni- a finale to reenact one of the most iconic Gianni Versace’s 1994 ad campaign by Richard Avedon. A fitting tribute as the centerpiece of the Versace show, soundtracked by George Michael’s Freedom.
