Versace’s Fall-Winter 2021 Collection introduced a new signature
pattern named La Greca. Its origins within the brand, however, go right back to
1988.
Gianni and Donatella Versace grew up in Calabria, Southern Italy. Once occupied by the ancient Greeks, the surrounding land is scattered with ruins and artefacts - reminders of Calabria’s rich Magna Graecia history. It was through these artefacts that the siblings began their love affair with Medusa, and it was through Medusa that they discovered another ancient Greek motif: the Greek Key.
“We love and believe in La Greca so
much that we’ve put it on everything, from bags to clothing and shoes to
fashion jewelry. It is “Very Versace” and I’m sure that it will become a loved
and iconic symbol of the house. It quickly became the protagonist of the
Fall-Winter 2021 Collection and it’s here to stay as a new pillar of the brand.”
- Donatella Versace
