2021春夏時裝周系列報導：撚和性感和運動休閒，Versace 描繪奇譎的海底世界

「做夢是否逃避現實？是否是在漠視當下現實的真相？」對於近日發表春夏大秀的 Versace 來說，此題答案或許有些模稜兩可──於衣著上歡欣躍動的明亮螢光色、充滿夏日氣息的海洋元素、抖擻青春韻味的休閒感服飾……，Donatella Versace 欲藉樂觀積極的服飾風格，一洗疫情下烏雲壟罩的社會情勢，將神話與未知現實的相遇之地 “Versacepolis” 予以細心描繪，那打上岸邊的海浪雖然洶湧，卻能洗滌心靈、振奮人心，予人在受挫停頓後、繼續邁出腳步前行的勇氣。

The journey to Versacepolis: Medusa was once the most beautiful woman in Athens. Her charms did not go unnoticed by Athena however, who scolded and banished Medusa in a jealous rage. The charismatic Gorgon now dwells in Versacepolis – a utopian settlement created on the seabed and populated by strong and confident men and women. She reigns there with courage and strength. Over eighty percent of the ocean is completely unmapped and unexplored. A far greater percentage of the moon’s surfaces have been studied and recorded than the ocean floor has. The deep blue waters remain a mystery. Today, Donatella Versace transports us underwater to Versacepolis to unveil the Spring-Summer 2021 Collection. As the world resiliently adapts to the new normal, this sub-surface show setting is an opportunity for the Versace community to indulge in a little fantasy and dive headfirst into a dreamscape. Is dreaming escapism? Is it ignoring the truth of our current reality? Perhaps the dream is fictional, but the process of dreaming is both human and undeniably real. Versacepolis is where mythology meets the reality of the unknown. The water can be rough, but it can also cleanse, soothe and refresh. “I wanted to create something disruptive, something that could be in tune with what has changed inside all of us. To me that meant dreaming of a new world. A world made of popping colors and fantastic creatures and a world in which we can all coexist peacefully. This collection has an upbeat soul and is optimistic, dreamy, positive… These are clothes that bring you joy.” – Donatella Versace This whole collection is disruptive in its vibrancy. The color palette is exuberant. The prints are zesty and bold. There’s skin on show in an ode to signature Versace sensuality. The nature, athleticism, seduction and fantasy combine in a melting pot of life’s joys. At the center of this collection is an empowered attitude that looks to the future with optimism and hope. All members of the audience are Versace employees that have undergone a Covid-19 test producing a negative result. Find out more here: http://e-versace.com/ss21

以明亮色彩和華麗印花勾勒奇譎海景

「我想創造一些顛覆性的事物，能反映所有人內心的變化，對我來說，那就是夢想一個新的世界、一個以奪目色彩和奇特生物構建的世界、一個人人都能和諧共處的世界。這個系列洋溢快樂的氣息，樂觀、夢幻、積極……，這些衣服能為你帶來歡樂。」從這樣的理想出發，Donatella Versace 成功建造一個將大自然、運動精神、性感誘惑和夢幻想像完美交融的超現實維度，並期許穿上這些亮眼服飾的摩登男女，能以自信態度展望充滿希望的未來，而這樣一個融合優雅氣度與休閒潮流的服飾美學，亦換來美國版《Vogue》編輯「住在 Malibu 海灘豪宅內的小美人魚」那既幽默又精闢的目標客戶分析。

除了能提振心情的正紅、亮粉、電光綠、馬雅藍、老虎橘、淡漠紫、bumblebee 黃等鮮明色調，Versace 本季系列亦著重於絢麗印花的展現，將1992年春夏同以汪洋世界為主題的 “Trésor de la Mer” 印花重新演繹，於寬肩西裝、夏威夷襯衫、細密褶襉套裝、層疊荷葉邊長裙等單品上舞出歡快旋律；表面鑲滿鑽飾的海星活潑地攀上短裙和馬甲上衣，而波浪狀 ruffle 褶飾和由啞光/亮面2種材質疊合而成的荷葉邊垂墜飾片，則為 bra top 和各款裙裝注入柔媚的女性氣質，與一票剪裁性感的泳裝和胸衣相得益彰。

值得注意的是，Versace 今年也向環保目標邁進一大步，如以有機棉織成的運動衫和網眼布，為系列建立可持續發展的基礎，而多款沙灘造型也採用有機纖維和再生聚酯纖維與聚胺製成，令 Versace 成為更具環保意識的高端時裝品牌。

配飾方面，品牌著名的 “Medusa（梅杜莎）” 圖像亦化為精巧的面部雕塑項鍊，和傳遞渡假風的彩色串珠、金屬細鏈和貝殼串鍊，共同為整體造型增添豐富亮點；於今季新登場的 “La Medusa” 手袋系列以柔軟皮革製成，配色琳瑯滿目，風格脫俗且觸感舒適，其垂墜柔美的外型體現年輕世代獨有的清新愜意；而外型像極了幸運餅乾（fortune cookie）的圓潤手袋，則是 Versace 女郎「大膽無畏又浪漫率性」的時尚宣言。
