Versace Fall 09- Litmus Paper Blue

A Twist on the little Black Dress

In light of the new economic climate many top designers have been attempting to reconcile a sense of conservatism within their collections. As buyers of luxury goods are feeling the strain of an economy in dispair, classic pieces with shots of colour or hints of lavish fabrics are hitting the runways everywhere. In Milan, Versace embodied this understated elegance in her Fall 09 collections. The bright blue, which has flourished in numerous designers collections for the season has been aptly named "litmus paper blue" by none other than Donatella herself.

Of course the ever inspirational Dsquared duo threw out the rulebook for their Fall 09 collection. Instead charting a course that harkened to the flamboyance of New York in the '80's and the days of Studio 54. Always fresh.
