  • Story Text: Versace may be best known for its brash sexiness, but Donatella ditched the PVC trousers on Friday (February 24) with a sleek collection that built on the label's strengths - impeccable tailoring and slinky siren dresses. With an eye to Versace's core customer -- the working woman, not the red carpet celebrity -- one-time queen of excess Donatella Versace brought out a collection of simple staples, from 60s-style coats with patent leather details to shiny trenchcoats and neat shifts with cut out backs. The Versace touch was there with the long peroxide-blond hair, copper skin and heavy eyeshadow, but models came out in wearable miniskirts with leggings, not spray-on hipsters. But Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez can breathe a sigh of relief, there was something for them too, with a string of Versace's trademark flowing gowns shown this season with pleated wrap details in pearl, metallic turquoise and electric blue. For the drinks party before that awards ceremony, there were also fluid minidresses with halternecks and bikini bodices or sleek, glittering lame shifts.
