After much anticipation and speculation within the fashion world, Donatella Versace officially announced her departure from Versace as the creative director in March. Following this significant decision, Dario Vitalie was swiftly appointed as her successor. The Fall 2025 collection, which was showcased just days before during Milan Fashion Week, marked the final collection designed by the iconic Italian fashion designer. The accompanying campaign has since been unveiled, featuring an impressive lineup of models. Donatella collaborated with her long-time favorites, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, for this last venture, bringing together a remarkable cast of Versace muses from both the past and present. Esteemed names such as Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Kristen McMenamy, Amber Valletta, Natasha Poly, Saskia de Brauw, Liu Wen, Mica Argañaraz, Anok Yai, Mila Van Eeten, and Jacqui Hooper posed for this celebratory series of minimalist campaign images, captured through the lens of M&M.
