Versace Paints Milan With Dark Glamour and Western Flair for Fall/Winter 2025

Milan’s twilight had barely settled when Donatella Versace unleashed a Fall/Winter 2025 collection that fused classic Italian glamour with unexpected Western influences. 

The Milan Fashion Week runway opened with a trio of puffy pieces in Versace’s iconic printing, setting the tone for a collection that felt both familiar and refreshingly new. Sleek, all-black ensembles followed, featuring plunging necklines, buttery leather, and structured trench coats. Amidst the slits, layering, and subtle print peeks, was a leather trench coat ensemble seen on Colman Domingo at the BAFTAs a couple weeks ago.

A Western twist came in with denim and patchwork detailing, shimmering accents, and cowboy-inspired boots and shirts. Pops of red, cobalt, and purple punctuated the darker tones, while models' dark lips and slicked-back hair amplified the drama. They strutted in everything from leg-baring mini dresses to more traditional floor-sweeping gowns. Thus, the collection juxtaposes the pantless trend and more naked looks alongside those that are fully covered and layered. Standout moments from the catwalk included Alex Consani in a shimmery silver number and Lila Moss in an edgy ensemble. The show closed with Mona Tougaard, her strapless little black dress showcasing Versace’s trademark print underneath, flanked by two more LBDs as Donatella took her bow.

Leopard print, sequined shirts, and oroton fabric bring a sense of fluidity and vibrancy in Versace's new collection. This season, the Italian fashion house artfully balances poise with provocation—proving once again that the house’s legacy of bold, sensual design is alive and evolving. The Fall/Winter 2025 show naturally saw industry royalty in its front row—including Anna Wintour, Taylor Hill, Victoria Monét, and Versace ambassador Cillian Murphy—sweeping into an evening where darkness met dazzle.
