Versace takes residency of The Selfridges Corner Shop at the luxury department store’s
flagship on Oxford Street, London.
The space is dedicated to Versace Icons, the House’s collection of definitive wardrobe
pieces inspired by Versace’s tailoring know how and decades of experience dressing
courageous women. At the heart of the collection is a boned corset foundation that
creates the iconic Versace hourglass silhouette, whether in sculpted evening dresses,
precision cut tailored jackets, or the bustier proposed as a new tank top.
A selection of pieces from the Women’s Fall-Winter 2023 maintains the signature
silhouette in more seasonal styles. The collection, that debuted on the runway in Los
Angeles earlier this year, references the energy, glamour and power of Hollywood, and
clashes these with contemporary Versace attitude.
Key pieces from the Versace Icons and Fall-Winter 2023 collections available within the
pop-up include:
- Bags and accessories in the Greca Goddess line, including the new top handle
and tote bags, each defined by the House code Greca hardware and exquisite
Italian craftsmanship - Versace Icons—soft leather tailoring, perfectly cut evening dresses, and the
“DV” pant suit, the go to uniform of the House’s Chief Creative Director,
Donatella Versace - A selection of dresses and coats from the Fall-Winter 2023 collection available
exclusively in the UK at The Selfridges Corner Shop, including the cloquet dress
worn by Kendall Jenner for the finale of the fashion show in Los Angeles, and a
Greca Goddess mini bag in golden quilted satin - Denim styles which elevate the material into tailored pieces including a blouson
coat and jacket with rounded couture shoulders, and straight leg tailored pants - Signature tailoring in deep black grain de poudre wool, including jackets and
dresses with straight shoulder lines which create the Versace hourglass
silhouette - Coats, evening dresses, shirts, and leather skirts featuring a crocodile motif,
whether as embossed leather, intricately quilted satin, or semi-transparent silk
devoré - Selection of sunglasses, belts, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories
The space is designed in the Versace color palette of black, pure white, and golden metal
and features bespoke display pieces and immersive features including:
- A Versace Icons photo stand, inviting visitors to photograph their iconic selves
and show that an icon remains an icon wherever they go; from day to night,
street to school-run, office to opera. Photos can be printed as a keepsake - The structural shape and artistry of the new Greca Goddess top handle bag is
emphasized through an exaggerated sculpture display within the central
window - A diamond pattern across walls and display plinths is inspired by that on the
floor of the Versace Palazzo at Via Gesù 12 in Milan - For the opening two weeks of the space, visitors will receive a complimentary
white and black germini flower stem wrapped in paper featuring the House’s
Barocco motif. Complimentary posters of the Fall-Winter 2023 campaign
starring Gigi Hadid, and chocolate coins wrapped in Medusa-embossed golden
foil, will be gifted upon entry throughout the residency
