Curator's Note

Horizontal bands of beadwork across the body give way to swirling motifs at the bust  reflecting the technical ambition of the atelier. The bodice was featured in Versace's catalogue of that year, photographed by Bruce Webber.

Versace

Gianni Versace founded his Milan house in 1978, building it around bold colour, printed silk and a deep engagement with classical antiquity. His signatures, including the Medusa emblem, the Greca border, Baroque ornament, chainmail and safety-pin construction, ran consistently across his collections from 1978 until his death in 1997. The work he produced in this period remains among the most studied in Italian fashion.
