Georgia Jagger: What’s Up with Versace’s Face?

Georgia Jagger: What’s Up with Versace’s Face? I've the overseas buzz at Grazia to thank for this early-morning tidbit of news -- Georgia Jagger, one of the more overlooked of Mick's offspring (I always thought she was Jade after a good night's rest) has just signed on to be the newest ingenue sporting the disappointingly wearable current fares of Versace. (This follows on the release of Jagger's campaign for Rimmel.) Not that Versace needs a new face aside from matron Donatella's unique mug, burned into our retinas after a recent string of unintelligible interviews, but nonetheless the 17-year-old will play dress up for Mario Testino and grace the stack of opening ads in our Vogues and Ws and Elles, her barely post-pubescent face sporting makeup her mother, model Jerry Hall, barely wore even in the 70s. A weird fit that really causes us to ask -- how does Versace choose their spokespeople?

Milan’s Salone del Mobile: Versace Home 2009

Milan’s Salone del Mobile: Versace Home 2009 One thing that can certainly be said of Versace is that the iconic fashion house has stayed true to its roots through every venture, despite changes in trends, the economy, and creative direction. So it was no surprise that the home design team turned back the clock when tackling the direction of this year's fall collection. According to team member Laura Varani, the current collection is made up primarily of pieces "renewed from past collections, updated for today," which is certainly not to say they've run out of ideas. The aesthetic of the collection runs the gamut, from quintessentially Italian, classic pieces to pure modernity, with even a little macabre thrown in -- though much of it seemed like scaled-up dollhouse furniture. Pieces once considered too darling for actual living settings (think silver rococo couches with billowy pink cushions) beckoned to be sat upon, and in their "real life" size, made perfect sense.

Christopher Kane Versus Versace

Christopher Kane Versus Versace Just last week, Versace announced it would breath life back into Versus, the diffusion line that Gianni Versace originally birthed in the late 80s as a project for his sis, Donatella. Now comes word that the newly reincarnated brand will debut with quite an eye-catching collection courtesy of Brit designer Christopher Kane. According to Dazed & Confused, the accessories line “draws direct inspiration from the back catalog of Versus and includes super high black platform heels with bold diamond detailing, black geometric calfskin bags, chunky bejeweled Chelsea boots and opulent crystal jewelry.”

Donatella Diffuses with Versus

Donatella Diffuses with Versus Versace may have poo poo'd the idea of dropping its price point in reaction to the recession back in January. But now it seems the luxury retailer is singing a slightly different tune. While the Italian fashion house’s iconic, vibrant fashions won’t be selling for slashed down prices anytime soon, fans of Versace can soon get their hands on a diffusion line, says Luxist. Specifically, Versace is re-launching Versus, the slightly less expensive sister line to Versace, which Gianni introduced in 1989 “as a project for his sister Donatella."

Versace Pimps Out Lamborghini

imageVersace seems to own Milan this year. First politics, now cars. But not just any car -- Lamborghinis. The fashion house is teaming up with venerable automakers to roll out the new Murciélago LP 640 Roadster, which promises to be a truly stylish ride. During Fashion Week in Milan, the Italian rapscallions agreed to design the interior of a limited-edition Lamborghini car and its accompanying accessories like gloves, bags, suitcases, and trolleys in the latest collaboration between the two luxe brands. Accessories go on sale in November.
