VERSACE JEANS COUTURE AND THE RAVE NEW WORLD

It is not the right moment for Rave Parties. In Italy there are one of the reasons of the new increase of Covid. Too bad. Also because the world of freedom connected to those parties is interesting. This was the idea behind the Fall Winter 2021 Campaign of Versace Jeans Couture.

Based on vibrant prints, acid colors, in a mix match of day and evenig. The women’s collection contrasts feminine silhouettes with sporty details: structured blazers are style with lace bicycle shorts and classic A line dresses.

Captured by Lee Wei See, an emerging Swiss photographer who is attracted by psychedelic touches. Alongside the main campaign, the season’s core denim styles are diplayed in Blue Note- a dedicated serie of images featuring up and coming musical talent wearing the new season looks. For example the songwriter and poet Elias Bender Ronnenfelt and indie rock singer-songwriter Connie Constance.

The pair wear standout pieces from the collection including a women’s embellished denim jacket that stays true to the brand’s vision of elevating denim and oversized raw denim jeans.

One of this is Colmar, an elegant brand for skiing, hiking and biking in the mountains. It is an intelligent strategy, a good move. A sign of reborn.
