For Spring 2025, Versace returns to its roots with La Vacanza, a collection steeped in sensuality, serenity, and the mythos of the sea. Captured by Zoë Ghertner, the campaign stars Abby Champion, whose quiet magnetism breathes life into this coastal reverie—where modern divinity meets the sun-drenched edges of fantasy.

Set against sculptural dunes, marble interiors, and reflective pools, Ghertner’s lens brings a softened clarity to the house’s iconic codes. Light filters through like memory. Glamour feels elemental—woven into fabric and movement, not just surface. Champion, serene yet commanding, emerges as a new-era siren, radiant and unmistakably Versace.

Vacationwear here transcends function. Swimsuits transform into sculptural gowns, adorned with sea-glass sequins that catch light like morning tide. Draped dresses ripple with liquid shimmer, evoking waves in motion. The men’s collection threads refinement through relaxed silhouettes—silken co-ords, denim reimagined with neoclassical sharpness, gilets that echo both the '90s and the Mediterranean.

Motifs from the house’s Trésors de la Mer archive resurface, newly charged: Medusa becomes a talisman, coral and seahorse illustrations swirl across mesh like underwater calligraphy. Accessories submerge deeper—Tag bags in oceanic hues, La Medusa totes rendered in patchwork textures reminiscent of coral beds, and footwear that mirrors the organic beauty of marine life. Jewelry takes cues from reef treasures—resin corals, baroque forms, and golden curls of sea flora.

Yet beyond the opulence lies a deeper shift. In partnership with Coral Gardeners, Versace commits to restoring marine ecosystems, adopting 9,000 coral fragments in French Polynesia. Consumers are invited to track the journey of their reef—linking fashion to environmental renewal. It’s myth with meaning, beauty anchored in purpose.

La Vacanza 2025 isn’t simply an escape—it’s a reframing of desire. A celebration of oceanic divinity, craftsmanship, and consciousness, where the sea is not a metaphor, but a muse with a future.
