LA GRANDE VITA

Vibrant colours and supermodels ...this was Versace in the 90's. Gianni Versace created pieces which reflected the Italian 'grandezza". He drew from the neo classicistic masterpieces especially in his prints and colors, and pushed the limits of what was fashionable as if questioning the existing universal agreement on good taste.
His ad campaigns featuring Christy, Linda, Naomi were shot by most famous photographers like irving Penn and Steven Meisel in big production settings becoming such capolavoro in their own right. Gianni Versace experimented with fabrics, cuts and textures as much as colors and this dress is a combination of both. It is a show stopper in its bright green color, the metal mesh texture and the low neckline make for a sexy drape. This is a late 90's design, created by Donatella Versace after Gianni's tragic passing. In true form of other memorable "Versace Green Dresses" (followed by Jennifer Lopez's green jungle dress in 2000) It is more than a dress, it is a timeless piece of Italian art and fashion history.
