"...Since 1982, ‘Metal Mesh’ has stood as a hallmark of modernity, remaining an enduring symbol of Versace’s innovative spirit. Officially patented, this iconic material has revolutionised the fashion industry with its unique duality, fluid as silk yet inherently strong..."

Initially known as ‘Oroton,’ Metal Mesh is crafted from intricately linked miniature metal rings, transcending its mere metallic form. It drapes with remarkable softness, can be dyed, printed, and seamlessly fused with other materials, showcasing a pivotal innovation in the world of haute couture.

For the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, Versace has reimagined Metal Mesh with ultra-lightweight aluminium, elevating its luxurious appeal with floral and ocean wave motifs, unveiled through futuristic silhouettes.

Meanwhile, Atelier Versace takes craftsmanship a step further by developing corsetry from recycled nylon polymer, employing cutting-edge 3D printing technology. These creations are then chrome-plated to achieve a flawless, high-shine finish that contours the body with absolute precision.
