Gianni Versace Couture S/S 1991 - Dress

Gianni Versace Couture Vintage S/S 1991 rare iconic runway polka-dot dress. The dress was presented 07.10.1990 in Milan worn by legendary model Christy Turlington. Also featured in Gianni Versace's advertisement for same year. The actioneed dress is in good vintage condition with some normal signs od age & wear. Some minor material alterations like a couple of loose strings can be found but minimal. The left hook closure above the zip is missing. Worldwide shipping available. About the collection from Vogue: “To use art in a flat way, without creative intervention, is in bad taste. I mix it up,” said Gianni Versace when talking to Vogue about his Spring 1991 collection—one of those that Donatella Versace revisited (and reissued parts of) for Spring 2018, when she commemorated the 20th anniversary of her brother’s tragic death. Part of this show’s resonance, then and now, is the way that Versace channeled his personal passions, which ranged from the high-brow to the populist, into his clothes. An avid art collector and a voracious consumer of news and pop culture, the designer made many references to paintings, including those of Sonia Delaunay, Victor Vasarely, and the Russian Constructivists (if you happened to miss the point there was a pair of sequined pants that read pittura). Versace’s palette was rich with primary colors this season. Also artful, but more accessible, was the designer’s homage to Vogue magazine. He reproduced then-contemporary and Deco-era covers on a series of playful catsuits that redefined the notion of being fit to print.
