Donatella’s preview sketches.
 

Around 5 p.m. today Milan local time, Donatella Versace will unveil her spring 2010 collection, but she passed on a few sketches—and the inspirations behind them—to us for a sneak peek. Versace is thinking Alice in Wonderland, but she has given it a rewrite that Lewis Carroll couldn’t possibly have imagined, lending Alice a baroque spin that results in, she says, “fantasy meeting prints that are mixed up and layered like dreams, in a megamix of swirling optical and micro patterns. . . .” Expect the look to be short, tight, asymmetric, and sparkling with that iconic House of Versace chain mail. . . .
