Versace (Made In Italy) /anglais

Gianni Versace's style was uncompromisingly sexy and luxurious, embracing both the classicism of ancient Greece and the cosmopolitan style of today's great cities. Using a mixture of influences from costume history, 20th-century iconography and fetishism, he created designs destined to clothe the most famous people of our time. This is a tribute to his creativity, originality and craftsmanship. The "Made in Italy" series is dedicated to the key figures in Italian fashion. The main section of each book traces the concepts and characteristics of a particular designer's work in both text and photographs. Interviews with members of staff, comments by style-setters such as Anna Wintour and Diana Vreeland, a chronology and a list of international boutique addresses, complete the guide.
