A black and blue check carrying the Medusa, made to open over the street. An everyday object signed with the emblem of Gianni Versace's house.
This Gianni Versace umbrella dates from the 1980s. It is made in a black and blue check with the Medusa, and it comes with its cover.
The Medusa, opened over the street.
Gianni Versace opened his first shop in Via della Spiga, Milan, in 1978 and presented his first signature collection that March. In 1982 his Autumn/Winter collection, with garments in light metal mesh, won him the L'Occhio d'Oro award.
Gianni Versace associated the Medusa with the classical ruins he knew as a child in Reggio Calabria, and chose her head as the emblem of his house.
The check gives the umbrella a graphic surface, and the Medusa identifies the house. The cover is present, and there are some slight signs of wear.
Graphic check, signed with the Medusa.
Versace carried its emblems from clothing to accessories and objects for daily use. An umbrella kept with its cover remains complete.
Pieces made during Gianni Versace's lifetime continue to attract interest among collectors.
Umbrellas are used outdoors and often lose their covers, so complete examples are assessed with care.
The Medusa is a recognised Versace emblem.
