Some fashionistas assume Versace always looks like the purple dress below, complete with scary, too-tan makeup. No, there was no time to start over. I had to go out with an orange face and white arms. Shit happens! Get over it. Sometimes peeps have armgina, sometimes they have bad makeup.
Anyway, over ten years or so, I have accumulated many Versace pieces that no one suspects of being Versace. Be honest now. Would you know my strapless navy-blue cocktail dress was by Donatella?
I’ve gotten a lot of wear out of this Pucci-esque dress.
I think I peaked that night. It’s been all downhill ever since.

The vintage Versace worn this New Year’s Eve.

You rawked the fringe gurl! Love it on you!
You have amazing collection, tho I’ve to say I like the Pucci-esque, red and Little Bo Peep dresses the most. I’m in love with the purple jacket. Cushion’s from Versace too?
I’m the petite on top person, there’s no one petiter than me *hint hint*
Very beautiful looks!
I love that first purple dress!
nice pictures, wendy. I also love the latex in suzel’s interview…very sexy indeed!
thanks for sharing the collection- it makes me want to start hunting ebay! love the glen plaid shift!
Wow, Wendy, what an incredible designer collection. The dresses are fabulous and I particularly like the trouser suit – tres chic!
Yay, the promised Wendy-Versace shhot at last! It’s amazing how easily I used to stereotype Versace, and how easily one can forget that their cutting (and not just their cutting-away) is superlative. Thanks for this lot!
You make Versave look classy and that is not always easy to do. And, your pillow looks good with your lamp 😉
You’re such a beautiful girl.
I have immense admiration for anyone who can pull off a white suit (and keep it clean)!
That red dress looks amazing on you!
Total babe.
I love the pantsuit, it’s so classy!
I’m having some major wardrobe envy!
Do you look bad in anything? Good grief, girl, you have got the cutest little figure!
Love that red dress. I can’t wear red, so I really appreciate someone who does it justice (or in your case, more than).
Do you remember an article (maybe in Allure) about someone who spent a day or so being Donatella’ed, by Donatella? Hysterical.
Wendy B, why are you so sexy? I esp like the Pucci print dress, so gorgeous!
I love the Pucci looking dress.
You look INCREDIBLE in the Pucci-Versace photo!!!
seriously, you have 1. the most amazing wardrobe and 2. the loveliest smile!
love your versace dresses! you look aesome in everyone of them!!! we also used to have those leopard print cushions on our sofa too, they’re super squishy.
“Commando Pants.” haha
Donatella doesn’t want you to wear underwear!
Well, that post had more style than I can ever hope to have. I might as well put on some parachute pants and a half-shirt, because I am a goddamned hobo.
Uncle.
I thought Versace was naff until the AW ’07 collection, and now I see I was wrong. Thanks for posting all these great photos!
This is such a great post! All the dresses are fabulous but you’re right, most weren’t Versace-esque.
Wow! Usually I don’t spend too much time looking at Versace’s collections because I just assume they’re not my style. But you proved me wrong. You’re Versace collection is sexy and elegant.
wow you look GORG in these pictures! and you have a fab collection! i love love the PUCCI dress!
You look adorable in that red dress! 🙂
Suzanna, I would love to be Donatella’d by Donatella, that would be so much fun.
Thank you for your kind words, other peeps. Except for PAD. Giving me that image was not kind.
But I’m glad that I’ve given some of you a new perspective on Versace!
wow what a collection! my collection of “motherhood maternity” is not quite so extensive. damn i want to be you!!!
now i see why you kicked suze out on her nosey arse!
Whoa! I love love love the jeans with the lace. Holy crap I’m starting to feel D.I.Y all of a sudden…
The first haircut looks absolutely great on you!
C’mon Smaggle, get to work!
