Last night, Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2014 began with the Atelier Versace fashion show. The show featured a Lady Gaga soundtrack (that "Donatella" song is INFECTIOUS!) and Miss Gaga was front and center to witness it all...









The Look: Donatella Versace took inspiration from Fashion Icon Grace Jones and her penchant for wearing hooded couture--usually from her favorite designer Azzedine Alaia...








For the Atelier Versace Spring/Summer 2014 collection, the "Donatella Glam Goddesses" were mostly all hooded--a la Grace--in perfectly tailored yet UBER sexy suits, silk jersey draped cocktail dresses and glittering sequined and draped gowns ready for the red carpet. If you have no problem having EVERYONE staring at you at a party as you walk in with your Billionaire boyfriend, then this is your couture.




I can't help but also think that besides Grace Jones, I also can see the fabulous Sheikha Mozah of Qatar (above) as being a secondary muse for this no-holds-barred Glam-a-licious colelction.

The Look: First off, the one-and-only Naomi Campbell opened the Atelier Versace Fall/Winter 2013/2014 runway show in Paris on Sunday--marking the official start of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. She slinked down the runway with a jacket (barely) held together by crystal hooks and eyes--a main detail used throughout this collection designed by Donatella Versace and her design team.




Speaking of barely held together, this was also a running theme of this collection, one that she said was inspired by 1930's black and white fashion photography--such as the iconic Horst P. Horst photo of the Mainbocher corset (above, left). The garments--all made of the most luxurious fabrications, such as croq skin, knitted mink, sequined lace, shredded tulle (these garments can cost $100,00+ if you were to order them)--showed various stages of "undress", as if they were peeling off the body, with lots of skin and intricate lace undergarments poking through. And the final gowns were very red carpet perfect for Donatella's girls like Uma and Angelina (lots of high slits darling!). Here are some highlights:

Halle Berry in Atelier Versace Fall 2012: Halle wore another one of the more controversial dresses of the night. She chose a printed silk chiffon, one shoulder, corseted, draped gown with high side slit and cut out detail. Wow! When it takes that long to describe ONE dress, you have to wonder if there might be a bit too much going on!




I've said it before and I'll say it again, Halle would look good walking the Red Carpet in a plastic bag, but this look reeks of trying too hard. The whole think is just too much. It is almost embarrassing. She is stunning, her body is amazing, she just doesn't need all that dress!
