Donatella Versace has learned a lot from Versus close collaboration with Christopher Kane, which lasted three years – mainly that new talent is an older brand. Versus mixed with JW Anderson turned out to be heady cocktail – young, sexy and just a bit out-there. Pieces of cut-outs for guys and gals, lace, zebra print and sparkling white go-go boots were in evidence. Crowns for men, though, may be a step too far.

The symbol Versus the brand launched in 1989, the safety pin is still drilling holes in drawings almost 15 years later. This time around, it seems on jackets for men and cute babydoll girls ' forms. Think Elizabeth Hurley in that dress but with the va-va-voom has turned down just a notch. A masterstroke for appealing to twenty-somethings hungry for revival of the years ' 90 with cash.

It cannot be said that Versace didn't put on a good party. This one saw three concerts (from Grimes, Angel Haze and Sara died, all of whom were dressed in Versus), a disco after the show was over, appearances by Paloma faith and Harley Viera-Newton and accessories led around the room for a handsome man on a bicycle. One to remember, then.

JW Anderson has been part of its ascent unisex clothes upward. This attitude did not stop with his first collection for a great brand. If women's stomachs have become an area of fashion recently, Anderson thinks it is right that their flash guys too – for the first time since the late 1980s. Whole male content crop tops, while the shoulder and hip bones were also displayed. ABS for both sexes are now required for next season.

The audience at the event in New York might see Donatella fitting garments on models and was streamed on Google, with bloggers reporting live. The main collection was also made available for purchase online immediately. The result? Fast fashion meets luxury – and the sound of the bloggers ' heads explode.
