It is actually exactly that iconic moment from the spring 2020 runway show that inspired the brand’s latest collaboration with luxury retailer Net-a-Porter.

“I am always a fan of what Versace is doing, and lately it’s been an exciting time for them with the buzzy ‘JLO dress’ and other recreations of their 90’s signature styles,” said Elizabeth von der Goltz, Net-a-Porter’s Global Buying Director. “After their successful runway show, I knew we had to work with Versace to create this capsule for our customers who will be attending endless parties this holiday season.”
