The Versace Collection for autumn/winter 2007-2008 assumes a completely refreshed image: new shapes, new colours and new materials. In the pursuit of formal elegance and maximum luxury achieved through attention to details, even the most casual items attain the height of glamour – complementing and extending the range of suggestions for the man of today.

The Versace Collection embraces three different occasions or lifestyles: a more formal/business style, a more fashion conscious option and sportswear that is casual but tailored. Besides being able to find the appropriate garment for every hour of the day or night, the Versace Collection aficionado can create his own individual look by teaming the jacket of a formal suit with trousers from the trend setting line.

The Versace Spring Summer collection for 2011 sticks with the signature Versace style - clean, light and masculine in a covert way.

Light colors dominated the fashion show - whites, light greys and tan browns. There was an element of the bohemian in the clothes, emphasised by the use of several necklaces and loose but fitting vests. The bohemian was interspersed with flashes of military elements in the coats and overcoats. All lightly layered to create a casual look.

Shits and vests featured plunging v-necks to the stomach, so its time to start toning up. Even some of the casual shirts were sheer and slightly see-through. Not for the thinly challenged amongst us.

Double breasted coats had a military cut to the front, yet still emphasised the masculine contours of the body. Military patterns in greys featured in some of the t-shirts and some of the sleeveless vests were distinctly military in appearance. Leather over - coats made an appearance, necklaces layered upon one another featuring heavily in most models.
