Overview

• Vitale unveiled his first collection at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, staging rooms like a disheveled noble home and sending Keats-quoting love letters as invitations.
• The lineup revived 1980s–1990s house codes with high-waisted jeans, open-sided tees, backless dresses and bold primary colors, set to George Michael, Prince and Eurythmics.
• Fans packed the streets, with loud support for Chinese stars Ding Yuxi and Jingyi Ju, alongside attendees like Romeo Beckham, Lily McInerny, Hyunjin and AllDay Project.
• Vitale said he looked to Gianni Versace’s spirit in the archives and framed sexiness as a tactile experience rather than a single provocative moment.
• Donatella Versace now serves as brand ambassador as Vitale, a former Miu Miu designer, took over April 1 with the Prada Group deal expected to close by year’s end.
