The fall-winter 2023 collection from Versace Jeans Couture is a full-throttle ride into the 1980s, channeling the era’s disruptive spirit with unapologetic flair.
Inspired by BodyMap—the British label that pushed boundaries with daring prints and bold silhouettes—Versace delivers a lineup that urges a new generation to dress like the 80s in attitude as much as in style.
This season’s outlook is unmistakably bold, merging archival energy with contemporary punch. Seck from Sophie Models and Zack Carton, captured through Melissa De Araujo’s lens, animate the collection with a visual story as dynamic as the designs themselves.
At the center are stark black-and-white prints—a sharp detour from Versace’s trademark saturation. Even in monochrome, the brand’s edge remains intact, proving once again that provocation doesn’t always need color.
Versace Jeans Couture Fall/Winter 2023 Collection
Versace introduces dark designs with a cheeky nod to biker culture. However, that detail does not deter the inclusion of a double-breasted pinstripe suit and cargo trousers—a playful take on a menswear classic.
The fashion house introduces a twist in its silhouette game, too. Flared volumes signify a swing away from conventional fitted styles, favoring roomier, dramatic cuts. This flair for the dramatic adds an element of comfort, promising ease of movement and a relaxed vibe.
The collection stands firmly on a selection of chunky boots, the perfect balance for various bomber jackets. But Versace’s playfulness shines through in their incorporation of cozy, furry slides—an offbeat yet fun addition to any outfit.
More standout pieces await: black and white hoodies emblazoned with the Versace logo, carefully pleated trousers, baggy denim marked with graffiti print, and roomy striped shirts. A furry bucket hat tops off an ensemble, an amusing and audacious tribute to the fashion freedom of the 80s.
Versace makes a strong statement with clever layering—long-sleeve tees peek from underneath printed button-down shirts, adding depth and creating many mix-and-match opportunities.
But perhaps the crown jewel is the return of matching denim, a signature 80s trend revisited and revitalized by Versace. It’s a clear message: the brand’s daring, complexity, and reverence for a time past are more vital than ever.
