Versace Celebrates Timeless Beauty this Ramadan

Heritage reimagined in modern design

Accessorising is key to creating the perfect outfit and everyone’s got a personal favourite. For those of us who live in the Gulf, our interests tend to skew towards sunglasses and watches, both of which serve the dual purpose of styling and utility. This Ramadan, Versace indulges that interest with their latest releases, echoing their commitment to creating culturally relevant products.

Sunglasses are a must-have accessory when you live in a region perpetually blessed with sunshine. And for most, they go one step above being a convenient thing to have around. In this vein, the Maison’s eyewear is an oft-picked choice for anyone looking to add statement pieces to their wardrobe that can easily elevate any outfit with a single step.

The new designs, crafted from luxe black nylon, are modern in shape and form but contain nods to Versace’s history: think the iconic Medusa head accent and the House’s signature 3D ‘V’ motif. Available exclusively at Rivoli, the new sunglass models are a fresh re-imagination of classic silhouettes and the House’s signature codes. The two eyewear offerings are part of the Avanti family. Avanti, meaning “forward” in Italian, gives a sense of propulsion and energy. The feminine style features a chic cat-eye silhouette, while the male angular style flatters diverse face shapes with its sharp, timeless lines.

While it’s important to protect your eyes from the sun in style, it’s just as important to keep track of time, especially during Ramadan. The new Versace Greek Edition watch is perfect for staying on top of your schedule. Taking inspiration from the House’s illustrious past, it transforms iconic patterns into a contemporary masterpiece. A 35mm heritage-inspired case and a squared guilloché dial effect add up to a watch that is not afraid to show off its premium craftsmanship. Meticulously crafted details — from the polished finishes to the interplay of light on the case — elevate the Versace Greek Edition into a symbol of enduring sophistication.

The Millennium Gent is equally compelling; it’s Versace’s answer for the modern man who values understated elegance. Its 40mm case houses a minimalist yet commanding dial, elevated by the iconic Medusa head positioned at 12 o’clock — a subtle yet powerful signature of Versace’s legacy.

Available from February 2025 at selected Versace boutiques, authorised retailers, Rivoli.com, Hour Choice stores, Maison Luxe at Dubai Mall and Versace.com, these collections invite aficionados of luxury to embrace the Holy Month complemented by refined artistry and enduring style.
