Christopher Kane grew up admiring Gianni Versace. Donatella believes the young Kane reminds her of her late talented genius of a brother and has been a massive fan since his debut Central St Martins collection. So it’s about time this collaboration came to fruition. At the start of March he launched his first accessories collection for Versus and what a match made in be-jewelled snakeskin heaven. Pretty sure Gianni is looking down from his palm treed pedistol with a massive grin. Alone Christopher Kane is an editorial Hoochie spreading the wares around and Versace is a Red Carpet must have but combined they are a serious fashion force which has already pushed Versace back into the peroxide blonde spotlight. The crystal strapped booties are so amazing they should be archived.

Already the evidence is clear. Versace is number one on speed dial for the fashion elite. Starting with this red sequinned feathered mini worn in the Atelier campaign by the sultry Serbian Georgina Stojiljkovic. This dress has really flown around the world featuring in three amazing editorials- Vogue Paris, April Edition styled by another of Christopher’s fans Carine Roitfeld, starring Prada favorite Ymre Stiekema and shot at an agricultural show by Patrick Demarchelier,Italian Vogue, March Edition starring super comeback Amber Valletta and shot by Steven Klein, and then the Kaiser himself shot his latest muse Heidi Mount in the exact same dress for Numero. Hard to pick a favorite.
