Replacing her usual crop of Versace regulars with guys like newcomer Johannes Niermann, Donatella Versace beams us light-years away this Fall. Traveling far from the softness of her Spring 2010 collection, into an age where wrap sunglasses and knuckle dusters replace man clutches.

Drawing a large portion of her inspiration from Disney’s upcoming sci-fi flick, Tron Legacy, black becomes the base color of the future, with slim-fit and barely breathable acting as the silhouette. As a backdrop of numerous lines placed together to create a very Versace cyborg, acted as the backdrop, night becomes day; a soundtrack featuring noises of motorcycles racing by.

Opening up the show with Sean Orpy dressed in head to toe black, displaying a jacket with details similar to that of the recent Atelier Versace collection, the patent leather seen slithering up and down suits and shirts in Fall 2007 get transformed into full fledged patent inserts and pants. Mixing leather and wool, using stitching taking off into different directions to give off a robo feel, zippers come in packs of three at pockets, then fly solo, up the side of a leather top.

Injecting the collection with shocks of purple and plum, prints were scarce, except for their slight appearance on tops. Made to look the colorful lines created by a motorcycles every move, seen in the Tron Legacy trailer.

Mostly keeping fabrics sleek and smooth, you will also find raised leather coats and bags perforated with tiny slash-like cutouts, giving of a ‘just with showered in bullets…yet managed to come out unharmed’ appeal.

Invincible and unstoppable.

Above, Details Magazine takes you behind the scenes while Donatella preps the day before the show. Explaining her inspiration and the collection in under a minute.

On a Side Note – With a slight hand gesture, the sunglasses come off, and Donatella continues to tend her nails. Only Donatella.
