Luxe Biker Apparel - Versace's Fall/Winter 2014 Campaign Celebrates Opulence

Versace's Fall/Winter 2014 campaign has been released and we're more than obsessed with the Italian fashion house's biker-themed looks. This visually striking advertorial highlights the label's signature range of embellished leather jackets, eye-catching swimwear staples and lock-accented jewelry pieces.

Models Daan van der Deen and Filip Hrivnak star in the image series that is captured by legendary photographers Mert & Marcus. Standouts from the collection include its studded jackets, bandana print speedos and embroidered chaps that remind us of the brand's early 90's designs by its founder, Gianni Versace.
