Hey there, fellow fashion aficionados! If you thought time travel was just for sci-fi flicks, Versace’s spring 2024 collection would prove you wrong. We’ve officially entered a time warp, and the ‘ Versace 90s are back in style – but with a fresh twist.
Can you believe it’s been a quarter century since the ’90s? Yep, that’s right, we’re gasping too! A new generation has come of age, and to them, the ’90s might as well be ancient history. But fear not, the internet has our back, making it easy to dive into the fashion archives.
Versace, being the trendsetting powerhouse that it is, seized this opportunity to orchestrate a fashion resurrection that left us all awe-struck. The showstopper? None other than Claudia Schiffer herself, making a triumphant return to the runway. Claudia, who originally graced the catwalk for Versace in the ’90s, looked absolutely timeless in a lime green damier check chainmail bustier dress. The dress, though reminiscent of the past, got a modern makeover.
Now, let’s talk about the fashion updates. Forget pants; shorts are where it’s at this season, in case you hadn’t noticed. Oversized jackets are also making a comeback, and those little white gloves from the ’90s? Well, let’s just say they’ve been politely asked to step aside; they’re a bit too dated for today’s fashion scene.
But perhaps the most significant change is what we now consider “dressed up.” Instead of the usual dozen-plus evening gowns, this show featured printed silk twill pajamas, beaded twinsets paired with matching bikini briefs, and jeans and denim jackets that looked like they had a pearl and crystal party. And here’s a fun factoid: the men’s five-button suit jacket worn over beaded boxers was inspired by none other than Prince himself. Donatella Versace knows how to keep things interesting!
Donatella, the mastermind behind this ’90s revival, managed to bring Claudia Schiffer back to the runway. Kudos to her for that! After a couple of shows in Los Angeles and Cannes, Donatella took her collection back to her roots in Milan. During a preview at Versace’s expansive new Milan headquarters, she revealed that her starting point for this season was her brother Gianni’s fall 1995 collection. “I thought it looked fresh and contemporary,” she said, and we couldn’t agree more.
The ’90s are back, and Versace 90s is leading the charge with a collection that’s equal parts nostalgia and innovation. Claudia Schiffer’s return to the runway was the icing on the cake, reminding us all that some things, like timeless fashion, never go out of style.
