Boy George spun blaring tracks, the runway shone bright with millions of light bulbs and Donatella Versace s junior girls trotted down the runway at full speed.
It was the typical Versus setup: high energy, plenty of attitude and all-out clothes that included skimpy zippered corduroy miniskirts, colorfully printed one-armed dresses and acid-pink rough-and-tumble furs. An explosion of yellow and orange skirts, triple-eyelet tops and paint-swirl coats preceded a series of off-the-shoulder, beaded and sheer black dresses that often revealed more than was necessary.
The spirit at Versus was fun and cool; still, at times one wished there would ve been a clearer direction. While it s certain that Donatella Versace knows her way around a sexy outfit, parts of the collection lacked her usual bravado and sense of control.
