By now, it’s old news that Versace’s funkier brand Versus is coming back to life. And I reported last week about Christopher Kane’s collaboration with the company for an accessories line. Well, Milan Fashion Week has brought us a sneak peek of what’s to come for the revived brand.
Fashionistas, get ready for an edgy side of Versace because Kane’s line of bags, shoes, and jewelry for Versus will be anything but ordinary. Think structured, studded, tasselled, and embellished with lots of metal. The handful of handbags that I’ve seen (like those pictured here) look like something that could withstand a nuclear disaster … or at least a daily beating.
You can expect the price range of these new accessories to be somewhere between $800 to $2600. I’m not sure how this is particularly more affordable and “accessible to the streets” as Versus has been hailed, but the styles are definitely intriguing. However, I’ll withhold my full opinion of the line until all has been revealed.
