Donatella Versace's Atelier Versace held its Fall/Winter 2016-17 collection show in the Stock Exchange Hall.

This season, the designer aimed to create fluid silhouettes and elevate women within them. Double-faced silk satin was used for many looks, creating striking visual impacts with contrasting combinations of gray and purple, burgundy and ice blue.

The flowing draping of silk satin on jacquard fabric embroidered with beads and sequins created a sculptural beauty. A sky blue mini dress embroidered with irregularly checked beads was adorned with ribbon-like burgundy drapes. Even the seemingly accidental draping was carefully placed. A pink and green coat, resembling knitted fur, featured hand-dyed organza cut to the same shape as the sequins, sandwiched between the sequins, creating a new texture.

The dress, which combines laser-cut silk satin parts to create an organic silhouette, is entirely hand-sewn, without the use of a sewing machine, which makes the seams stiff. Another distinctive feature is the embroidery of beads and sequins between the parts, subtly showcasing the beauty of handwork. The glamorous and elegant worldview that only this brand can produce is still alive and well.
