Versace Goes Vintage‑Vogue with a Splash of Pop Art
Who’d have guessed that a splash of emerald green from the year 2000 would make a comeback in 2019? Versace’s latest pre‑fall show in New York saw the brand reprise the iconic gown that JLo wore at the On the Floor music video‑lit Grammys – but now with an extra dash of neon!
The Gown Reimagined
- Original debut: 2000 spring/summer runway, model Amber Valletta floated in silk chiffon.
- New twist: 2019 pre‑fall show, the same star again – this time the dress boasts a “Love Pop Art Print” that explodes on the waistband with colorful hearts.
- Features: balloon sleeves that’d make a puffy cloud jealous, a gem‑encrusted plunge point that’s basically a skyscraper of sparkle.
- Totally trending: the “jungle print” no longer feels vintage; it’s now a bold, vibrant statement.
When Google Turns Fashion
Legend says it was the Google Image Search we’re all trying to forget now. Former exec chairman Eric Schmidt’s quip: “It was the most popular search query ever. We had to give folks exactly what they wanted – JLo in that dress.” That’s a good reason to trust Google’s algorithm to pick the perfect emerald‑green.
Notorious B.I.G. Gets a Retro Sunglasses Remix
- “Hypnotize” icon’s signature sunglasses are back – 20 years after the rap legend passed.
- Classic curved frames traded for a hexagonally‑shaped low‑lens design, perfect for fans of the cat‑eye and oval trends.
- Part of The Clans Collection, this pair promises to make heads turn (and maybe a little echo the late rapper’s careful swagger).
It turns out that when a fashion house is nostalgic for its own past, it almost always knows how to turn the old look into a fresh runway‑ready trend. Versace isn’t just reviving—it’s revamping, making sure that the past keeps feeling brand‑new.
