- 2. Greek :Spring 2011 The Greek "fret" or "key" motif, first used by Donatella Versaces late brother, Gianni, was a major element in this snappy, sculptured show. Like a frieze on a Delphic temple, it traced a line down the torso, on a slim patent belt around the waist, or in the flurry of multicoloured fringing which marked the sexy little party-dresses, and cutaway tops with slim skirts.

- 5. Baroque: Seen In : Vintage Versace 80s & 90s, Gianni Versace Couture, Versace Jeans Couture & Versace+H&M Vogue : When you think back to the house of Versace in the nineties, it is all too easy to piece those memories together with the aid of safety pins (Elizabeth Hurley in the dress that secured her the celebrity status that had previously eluded her), gild them with baroque excess (enough golden, scrolled ornamentation to make Versailles look low-key), and reflect them off slippery, silvery surfaces (what celebrity didnt feel armored on the red carpet in all that chainmail?)
