Donatella Versace and J.W. Anderson surprise critics with a very wearable collection for Versus by Versace that seamlessly fused grunge and '90s sex appeal.

For the launch of J.W. Anderson’s capsule collection for Versus by Versace, Donatella Versace and the Ireland-born designer hosted a megawatt event at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City. The highly anticipated show featured musical performances and a let’s-party runway collection that evoked attendees inner club kid. Guests were treated to the sounds of hip-hop beauty Angel Haze, hard-rock band Dead Sara, electro-pop star Grimes and DJ Maxwell. Versace donning celebs, including Jaime King, Heidi Klum and Mia Moretti were spotted grooving on the sidelines.
Anderson and Versace may have appeared to be an unlikely creative match, however on the runway the conversation between the two created a fresh new take on brands DNA codes. Versace inspired Anderson to spin his signature oeuvre (sculptural, asymmetrical, androgynous) with flesh baring femininity that refined houses edge on cool.
Dance to the beat with this capsule collection, which will be released June 15 at Net-a-porter, Opening Ceremony, Browns of London and Saks Fifth Avenue. Opt for burnt taupe eyeshadow, crimson red lips, and teased hair to complete your rockin’ sexy look.
