Versace’s new creative director and Louise Trotter at Bottega Veneta mine respective archives to return to houses’ roots
If there was any question that Versace would lose any of its racy spirit under the new creative direction of Dario Vitale, who made his debut at the storied Italian house on Friday night, he made it clear that he intends to keep sex very much on the agenda.
“To me, it’s not the sex itself, but the experience of it,” he said backstage of his approach. “For me, when you have good sex it’s about the tactile aspect of it, the souvenir of the day after, so it’s more the idea of something than the thing itself.”
