It's Here! Donatella Versace and Jonathan Anderson Present the New Versus

You can't say Donatella Versace doesn't know how to throw a party.

You can't say Donatella Versace doesn't know how to throw a party. Last night, she and designer Jonathan Anderson took over the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City to present the new Versus Versace and JW Anderson's first capsule collection for the brand.

But this wasn't just any product launch. Versace managed to fill the space with everyone from industry insiders like Leigh Lezark, Eniko Mihalik, and Harriet Mays Powell, but she also drew stars like Heidi Klum, Darren Criss, and Taylor Momsen.

All of them assembled around a big black box in the middle of the room. When illuminated, the box was revealed to be a backstage area enclosed by translucent panels of plastic. From there, models walked down runways on either side of the space before performances by musicians Angel Haze, Dead Sara, and Grimes.

And while no one walked away with pieces from the collection, guests did get a special treat at the end of the party: a parcel of differently flavored doughnut holes served as the goody bag.

A look at all the pieces that came down the runway, plus a few snaps from the party, here in the gallery.
