The Versace Vanitas collection combines elegant design and sinuous graphics, offering an exquisitely contemporary reinterpretation of the rapport between shape and surface decoration. The bow, an original ornamental motif created by Gianni Versace, is homage to creativity, geometric perfection and décor.  

VERSACE VANITAS MAIN READY TO WEAR:
The Versace Vanitas A/W 2009-10 main collection offers a selection of ready to wear pieces. Tops, dresses, trousers and coats all feature the Vanitas graphic bow as a decorative application that also inspires the silhouette. In an interplay of graphic design and detail, the Vanitas bow wraps, shapes, or embellishes the items. Colours in the collection include fuchsia, cobalt blue, violet, metallics, beige, black, charcoal grey and strong green.
