Remember Point Dexter, the band from the early 90's late 80's? Imagine them with chains and rocking a Guido look trying to look like an Italian gangster. Remember those pointy British Knights dress shoes you owned? I know I did since I had two or three pairs and that is when I started dressing up and left the whole B-Boy look behind. Well we are not ready for that to come back yet.
Donatella Versace showed the Versace men's line Spring 2011 in Milan. We see she pulled the archive book on this line since there are lots of old Italian looks and not to mention those 80-90's looks we mentioned above. For a second I thought I saw Vanilla Ice on the Runway.
This new collection is also brought to you by former Dior Homme designer, Martyn Ball, Donatella's new wingman. He too was was inspired by the 80's so we give him a bit of credit because there are some Versace 80's pieces on the runway. However according to Versace, the collection is "for a man's who's very glamorous and very independent." Well we will have to add courageous too since walking down the streets with a Vanilla Ice hair due and clothes looking like Point Dexter you sure must have an independent view on style. We see the Versace Spring 2011 as NOT ready to wear.
