Ready-to-wear, Spring–Summer 1998 by Donatella Versace. Collection “Beginnings.

Amid the brilliance of the runway lights and the murmured awe of an audience held spellbound, Doria appears—majestic and composed, as if summoned by the very spirit of couture. She glides across the catwalk in a sculpted black latex gown, the strapless bodice gleaming like obsidian beneath celestial light. From her left thigh, a bold slit reveals a glimpse of vivid cobalt silk, an unexpected flash of color that dances with each of her steps. The fabric clings like a second skin, accentuating every line of her commanding presence. This masterpiece, from Donatella Versace’s Spring-Summer 1998 Beginnings collection, captures the tension between control and freedom, tradition and provocation. It is not just a garment—it is a moment suspended in style, and Doria, its living emblem.
