Welcome to Versace Icons, a brand new collection from the Milanese house that celebrates decades of dressing powerful women. While renowned (and obsessed over) for its graphic prints and its more-is-more gusto, Versace is also revered for its tailoring: There’s never been a sharper hourglass shape nor a sexier blazer. “I will wear every piece in this collection and have worn similar [such pieces] for decades,” says Donatella Versace. “These luxurious wardrobe essentials showcase the beautiful simplicity of our silhouette.” She also notes that there’s a clear feeling that comes with being, and wearing, an Icon: “Considered, confident and stunning,” says Versace.

Versace Icons launched in early April, 2023. See our highlights from the collection, below.

  1. Black Greca Goddess leather mini shoulder bag

    The sleek fit of these trousers gets a visual kick through flared ankles. Another plus: These pants have a lengthening effect, making you look taller.
  4. Black leather pumps with silver heel

  7. Black elasticized belt with Greca-engraved buckle closure, detailed with leather finishes

    Medusa ‘95 wide belt

    A graphic belt (in this case, with Versace’s Medusa closure) brings back turn-of-the-millenium vibes. What it proves: This house never goes out of style.
