1989. točno deset godina nakon internacionalnog runway debija Versace kolekcije, Gianni Versace odlučuje pokrenuti mlađu liniju koja bi spojila glamour i Rock’n’Roll duh kuće, kao poklon sestri, muzi.
“Versus was born with an innate creative approach, with a strong focus on innovation, flair and the unconventional. An artistic force that takes present fashion forward, anticipating new trends and embracing challenge.”, opisao je Gianni tada novu liniju.
Zabavno, mladenački, buntovnički – to je i Versus današnjice. Sestra Donatella od 1994. preuzima ulogu šef dizajnera.
Nakon Giannijevog tragičnog odlaska Donatella je odlučila napraviti pauzu i vratila Versus 2009. na tržište pomoću dizajnerske zvijezde Christophera Kanea.
“Christopher has shown that he has talent and his sensibility is in tune with the original spirit of Versus. He reminds me of my brother Gianni when he was young, he has the same energy. That is why I asked him to work on Versus. It was the first collection that my brother Gianni let me work on, on my own, so it’s very precious to me.”- pojašnjavala je tada svoj izbor Donatella.
Kane je nakon završetka Central Saint Martins Collegea dizajnirao accessoire za Versace. S proljećem 2012 on i Donatella prisjećaju se doba studija, posebno tadašnjih sportskih aktivnosti, što je vidljivo u formama kolekcije.
Boje? Slatke, poput slatkiša, pompona i odjeće kakvu nose Cheerleaders. Rafinirani cut outs, čiste siluete, lagani materijali, jersey visokog sjaja, zaokružili su novu Versus kolekciju.
