Donatella’s ability to bridge fashion, music and art is well documented, from her long-term collaborative relationship with the legendary Bruce Weber, to collections with Zayn Malik and M.I.A. Here, she looks towards the next generation of creative talent: “I really admire the young creatives in the new Versus campaign. I call them the Sub-Versus Generation, a community of subcultures taking a stand for their beliefs and for their individuality,” says Donatella.
The collage imagery is accompanied by a short film, hit play below to watch.
Versus will show its SS18 collection in London on 17th September during London Fashion Week.
