Horizontal bands of beadwork across the body give way to swirling motifs at the bust  reflecting the technical ambition of the atelier.

Gianni Versace

Gianni Versace founded his Milan house in 1978, building it around bold colour, high-impact printed silk, classical antiquity and clothing designed to make an unambiguous statement. His house codes, which include the Medusa emblem, Greca borders, Baroque ornament, chainmail, safety-pin construction, remain among the most recognisable in Italian fashion. The work he produced between 1978 and 1997 is among the most studied and collected in the history of the house.
