Versace at Browns
So here I am, looking at websites for nice things I can't afford while lying on my bed because of this pesky fever and sore throat that just won't go away.
It's not particularly my style… and I don't want them for myself (duh) but these two wonderful, colourful and vibrant Versace pieces at Browns caught my eye. I had a wee bit of flashbacks of Versace from the 90s… baroque prints, medusa heads, you know, the whole shebang.
Versace baroque print silk top £365 and Versace baroque print cotton and silk dress £815 at Browns London.
Perhaps the big shocker here is the price point.
£365 for the silk top? That's quite affordable, especially for Versace, no?
I mean, it's not affordable "affordable" because £365 (minus VAT if you live outside the EU and want to get technical about it) is still a huge chunk of money. However, I think it's affordable compared to the usual Versace sticker shocker prices…
I pointed this out to a friend and first thing he said was, "are they going after us poors now?".
I think it's great though.
Meanwhile, have you seen the new Versace Pre-fall collection? Amazing.

The word “affordable” for Versace is still a huge amount of money! I still can’t afford it :(

There’s no way that I would ever buy those pieces for anyone, even if I have the money. They’re just basic tops and shifts, with unlikeable print (for me) that bears Versace stamp of approval. If I were a girl, I’d rather save up more money to afford pieces from the SS10 collection which look more like high fashion that merits the price.
Versace are great for men jeans – perhaps the best. I find these two dresses rather good and well balanced but I would not wear them.
PS. Did you leave thingbox?
Old Versace indeed but perhaps with a nod towards Mary Katrantzou???
VERSACE HAS BECOME VERY COMMERCIAL AND FOR-NEW-RICH-PEOPLE IN THE LAST YEARS, BUT I THINK THAT NOW DONATELLA IS DOING A NICE WORK AGAIN, BRINGING BACK THE 90′S AND THE ORIGINAL STYLE OF GIANNI VERSACE LINE. THE PRICES? VERY AFFORDABLE..
The dress only has like 4 more inches of fabric, so why is it more than twice the price?
