The Return of Versus

London darling Christopher Kane has been tapped to revive Versace's younger label, Versus. Launched in 1989 by the late Gianni Versace, who said it embodied "innovation, flair and unorthodox talent", Versus was closed when the company decided to downsize. Traditionally the go-to brand for the cool girl in school (with the trust fund to back her up, of course), Versus is set to do a full relaunch for spring/summer 2010. Under the new plans, Donatella will design a clothing line for spring/summer 2010, while Kane's collection will hit stores next July. Word on the street is Kane will be designing both the men's and women's clothing and accessories lines, and if this debut collection—the stones, the straps, the sky-high heels—is any indication, Versus' rise from the grave will be a quick and fierce one!!!
