PARIS, January 19, 2004 Donatella Versace returned to the couture runway in svelte form—ironed blonde hair whipping to the waist, body trimmed and trained. That is the way the designer made her entrance at the end of the show, and that is the way every other girl on the runway was made to look, too. It drove home the point of the first Atelier Versace runway presentation since fall 2002: confidence in the high-glam, knock-your-eyes-out dressing this house has made its signature. Daywear? Forget it. Even a white suit comes worked in satin with a bedazzling, crunchy crystal belt and super-flared pants, then turns to flaunt a back in paper-cutout lace. Something described in the program notes as a “mini trench” is sliced and pieced in such a way that at least 50 percent of the action is sheer. A generic rock-chick leather jacket—shredded into strips, braided and knotted like macramé, and molded to form a second skin—gets upgraded to superstar status. And for evening? Tiny minidresses that appear to be nothing more than fine bead necklaces. Lashings of pastel satin and chiffon, slashed with cutouts and edged with sparkle. In short, everything you need if you equate the words photo opportunity with another chance to go in for the kill.

Absolutely love this show! Amazing! the best show of Atelier Versace and sadly the last one. Hope that she really comes back so she can show her collection in a show. I don’t like just seeing it on pictures,i like seeing it in action!(: The music is great I need to know the name of the soundtracks (:.
@nextgiselle13 And you forgot about Chanel and Dior for his Haute Couture show for Fall/Winter 2009. He needs originality.

There are also in the soundtrack classics tracks of la “Tosca” and “Gianni Schicchi”

@MarzioTheMannequin

I think this is the best ATERLIER VERSACE COUTURE show ever!
she slips at 9:46
o well the designs were amazing especially the poofy black one
Yes, very sad.
I think Versace started to lost lots of money in those years, you know, atelier doesn’t have fashion show anymore, versace for kids and versace sport closed, they started to quit advertising in magazines. . . I feel bad for them. I would be depressed, however, i feel that Donatella is really strong.
quite sad, right:(?
