London Fashion Week serves up fresh Youthquake

London

IT was Friday, the first day of London Fashion Week, and Donatella Versace was sitting in a hotel in Mayfair, finishing the preparations for her hard-driving, techno-fabulous Versus Versace show scheduled the next day.

Versace lives in Milan, and so does Versus Versace, but a few seasons ago she moved the show to London. She would be back in Milan in a few days to stage the Versace show, but for Versus, its rebellious little sister (the line that was created for Donatella, Gianni Versace's rebellious little sister), London felt right.
