Milan - We got a posh pastel moment at Versace on Saturday in Milan, when the Medusa headed label staged their spring 2009 men’s collection before an eclectic audience of music, movie and mode greats.
The three big star invites made an unlikely combo – from music came Janet Jackson; from movies Jerry Butler and from la mode Tom Ford, in the midst of major campaign to re-establish himself as a major Milan player.
Highlighting the Sergeant Pepper mood in Milan, the show featured military tunics. Slimly cut, unadorned of medals they summed up the increasingly slim-line silhouette of Italian men’s fashion and the current obsession with pastels.
Dusty hues of mauve, tangerine, peppermint and rose ran through this show, most spectacularly in some great weekend bags and satchels, slung over the tousle haired models in the show, staged in Versace’s custom made theatre in south central Milan.
The clothes also had some clever tailoring tricks - like elongated jacket lapels or well placed shoulder panels.
And, the collection’s best looks were some ace faded silver trenches that had a modern panache yet lots of lightweight wearability.
"I think the moment is right for clothes that are easy to understand and wear," said Donatella at her garden dinner in the courtyard of the family’s distinguished via del Gesu palazzo, made over the night with huge couches and low cocktail tables.

I'm a sucker for pretty much all home decor that looks like it was inspired
by the 1970s disco era, but even I would draw the line at a flashing dance
