It’s a Versace night
It’s 1am, 30°C or even more. I’m standing on my desk with a cup of cold milk, eating some fruid salad, all the basics for the typical graphic designer. Hypebeast’s on as always and they’re bringing some top news again. Versace are back in style, but this time it’s not just Ms. Donatella raising the bar with her S/S 2009 Collection, this time we even have Lamborghini involved. They teamed up with Versace masterminds for another version of the exclusive LP640. Coming complete with a range of leather goods including bags, gloves, belts and other accessories, the LP640 in itself has also undergone a Versace aesthetic treatment. The engine hood features a transparent hood to showcase the rip snortin’ V12, nappa leather clad seats and a hand-embroidered Versace motif throughout the car.
