The Fashion Landscape
Gianni Versace in the 1980s

Gianni Versace presented his first signature collection in Milan in March 1978. In the following decade he won the L'Occhio d'Oro award in 1982, launched his first fragrances in 1984 and opened Atelier Versace in 1989.

The Wider Culture
Before the Baroque

The Barocco prints most associated with Versace appeared prominently in the early 1990s. Scarves from the 1980s show the house's printed silks before that period.

Reading the Object
Line and Colour

The long, narrow format gives the print a linear rhythm, reinforced by the red stripes. Some light marks are visible.

A linear rhythm in yellow and red.
