Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2001 Full Show | EXCLUSIVE

Iconic Versace haute couture show featuring many legendary models, including: Carmen Kass, Stella Tennant, Karen Elson, Colette Pechekhonova, Erin O'Connor, Isabeli Fontana, Raquel Zimmermann, Inga Savits, Caroline Ribeiro, Christina Kruse, Mini Anden, Trish Goff and Karolina Kurkova. VOGUE: A feisty and flamboyant collection based on the structured, highly tailored silhouette of a '40s diva: pinched waistlines, strong shoulders, strict pencil skirts and tight corsets. Versace updated her pinup girls with Afro hair, Blade Runner makeup and striking chromatic combinations—witness her black feather bolero jacket with high-waisted skirt and matching bumblebee top. Other highlights included Oscar-ready see-through lace dresses with visible boning, a striking tortoise-shell shirtdress and several racy harlequin-print cocktail numbers—a must-have for those on the hunt for a new and improved husband. Dizzying two-tone stiletto mini-boots, geometric evening bags and enormous, interwoven circular totes added to the over-the-top mood of outrageous elegance.
