Versace
Pop Art collection, Spring/Summer 1991
The Warhol Marilyn dress lives here. Working with the Andy Warhol Foundation, Gianni printed the faces of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean, taken from Warhol's screen prints, onto his clothes, and set them beside baroque swirls, leopard print and harlequin diamonds. It is Versace at full volume: pop culture treated as high fashion, with nothing toned down for good taste, and the clearest single season for seeing how far his print bravado could go.
