The Object and Its Moment

The Fashion Landscape
Gianni Versace

Gianni Versace founded his house in Milan in 1978. In 1989 he opened Atelier Versace for couture and launched Versus, a younger line overseen by his sister Donatella.

The Wider Culture
The Houndstooth

Houndstooth comes from British country and menswear dress. Set against black leather, the check keeps its traditional character while the Medusa identifies the maker.

Reading the Object
Texture and Shine

The contrast between woven wool and smooth leather gives the gloves texture, and the metal Medusa adds a point of shine. They are listed as size small.
