Vanesa Sokcic Still Wears the Same Versace Coat 30 Years On
The singer revealed she keeps a Versace coat that is more than three decades old and still wears it, convinced a quality piece never goes out of style.
- Vanesa Sokcic still wears a Versace coat that is over 30 years old.
- She says a well-paid, quality piece holds its value even after three decades.
- Black is her absolute favorite because, she says, it always wins.
- She admitted with a smile that certain pieces conveniently hide her figure.
Singer Vanesa Sokcic admitted this week, in an interview with local media, that she keeps a luxury Versace coat more than three decades old in her wardrobe, and that she still wears it without a second thought. The piece, she says, was bought back in the nineties, and she reaches for it to this day.
The reason is not nostalgia. Vanesa has a very practical attitude toward fashion, and she makes no secret of it. She believes a quality, well-paid piece of clothing does not lose its value no matter how many years pass. What was expensive then, she explains, still looks expensive now.
It is a philosophy that runs against the logic of fast fashion, where clothes are bought for a single season and then thrown out. Vanesa does the opposite. Fewer pieces, but the right ones. And then she wears them for years, as long as they still look good.
Why is black her absolute favorite?
When it comes to color, there is no dilemma. Black, Vanesa says, is always a winning combination. It is the color she returns to whenever she wants to be sure she looks good, whether on stage or out for an ordinary evening.
There is also one very honest reason behind it, the kind many women will not say out loud. Black, the singer says, flatters the silhouette and knows how to hide what you would rather keep out of sight. Some pieces in her wardrobe, she adds with a smile, are there for exactly that reason, because they hide her figure nicely.
Audiences responded well to that witty, self-deprecating tone. No pretending, no talk of diets and perfection. A woman who knows what suits her and is not afraid to say it.
The Versace coat fits perfectly into that story. A dark color, a recognizable cut, and a quality that survives three decades of wear. A piece she paid for once that has paid her back countless times.
Quality that does not age
Vanesa Sokcic has been part of the home-grown music scene for years, but she has appeared in public less often over the past few seasons. When she does show up, she regularly draws attention with her looks, and once again many commented on how good she looks in her fifties.
That is exactly why her story about an old coat is so interesting. At a time when social media promotes new clothes and a new trend every single day, she is sending a very different message. That the real thing has no expiry date.
Many of her colleagues on the scene chase every new collection and swap out their wardrobes week after week. Vanesa chooses differently. She buys quality, stores it carefully, and wears it for as long as the piece still looks good. The Versace coat is the best proof that this math makes sense.
What makes her statement so likeable is the absence of pretension. She does not present herself as a fashion icon, nor does she hand out styling tips. She simply says, honestly, what she loves, why she loves it and what feels right. Black, quality, and a piece that has outlived plenty of trends.
And if something bought thirty years ago is still worn with pleasure today, then that may be the best recommendation a piece of clothing could ever get.
Would you keep an item of clothing for three decades, if you were sure it still looked good?
