AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
an extraordinary and rare testament to the genius of Gianni Versace, dating from the early to mid-1990s, officially produced by Alias S.p.A., the historic exclusive manufacturing arm of the maison. This sheath dress represents a true museum-grade archival piece, famous for its bold "clash print": a screen-printed mosaic that fuses the opulence of baroque motifs with macro Oriental peonies, pop polka-dot inserts and zebra-patterned optical elements.
The collectible value is confirmed by the fabric's construction complexity, a precious micro-nerved canneté designed to sculpt the silhouette, finished with a squared neckline, bateau sleeves, and sophisticated invisible welt pockets at the hips. The authenticity and the golden era of the garment are philologically certified by the internal archive label bearing the inscription "A norma di L. N. 883 - 26/11/73", the production code 91/12342 and the Alias manufacture. Preserved in excellent vintage condition, with vivid colors and intact structural seams, this piece represents a high-value investment for the most demanding collectors of international luxury vintage.
The only flaw concerns a small seam opening near the armpit.
