Milan Fashion Week Highlights SS24: Claudia Schiffer walks in Sixties-inspired show for Versace

Claudia Schiffer led a stellar line-up of supermodels, including Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, for Donatella Versace's Sixties-inspired SS24 show – which, while big on glamour, was rather demure by Versace standards. 

Kendall Jenner got proceedings underway in Milan setting the tone of what was to come in a white satin mini dress, white structured handbag and silver Mary Jane flats. Her hair styled in a half-up ‘do with a white bow on top.

Jenner’s close friend Gigi Hadid, meanwhile, modelled the penultimate look, a green Grecian style gown. The shimmering asymmetrical dress was teamed with perspex mule sandals.

Hadid was followed by Claudia Schiffer, who closed the show in a silver and green metallic dress with lace detailing.

The German supermodel – who first appeared on the Versace catwalk in the Nineties – wore silver court heels with the form-fitting gown featuring a checker-board motif that had permeated the show.

Elsewhere in the show and clearly riffing on the Sixties theme, the designer sent out a slew of satin shift dresses in pastel tones as well as a variety of prim skirt suits in similar hues.

Several looks were presented by a trio of models, such as the powder pink, baby blue and mint green check tailored looks styled with matching handbags.

The famed Italian fashion house is known for high-octane glamour, bold colours and sexy dresses. For SS24, tailored jackets came with rounded shoulders and were buttoned up to the neck. Pyjama-style coords were loose and boxy – although the super-short shorts flashed a lot of leg.

In the second half of the show there was more of the after-dark glam one would expect from the luxury label. Party looks included citrus-bright minidresses, cut-out LBDs and a shimmering black crop top and miniskirt.

After Schiffer had taken her turn on the runway, Donatella Versace appeared briefly and was greeted with applause from the audience.
