Asta Bidspirit | Gianni Versace

Gianni Versace - handbag and matching pair of décolleté, in Marilyn and James Dean printed fabric; the bag with golden metal handles enriched with colored spheres; Sergio Rossi shoes for Gianni Versace.Spring/Summer 1991 collection, the bag cm. 31x23 circa (handles included); the shoes n. 38 1/2As Vogue Italia wrote ”if Salvator Dalì understood that art had all the potential to contaminate other sectors, including show business, Gianni Versace applied this theory. During his trip to New York he discovered the influence of pop art in America and so he decides to create a collection that pays homage to Andy Warhol.1991 brings colorful clothes full of irony to the catwalk: prints that reproduce James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, faithful to the serial repetition that, in pop art, tells the story of the economy of consumerism. The Italian designer not only makes us reflect on the relationship between fashion and art but proposes a new visual culture that celebrates contemporary society. It is no longer a communication only through the image but also through the dress.”
