A traditional menswear check, enlarged and fixed with a silver-tone Medusa. It pairs the codes of British country dress with the emblem of Gianni Versace's house.
This Gianni Versace cap dates from the 1990s. It is made in heavy wool with an exaggerated black and white houndstooth, structured in a flat cap shape, and fitted with a silver-tone Medusa rivet. It was made in Italy.
A menswear check, enlarged and signed.
Gianni Versace, born in Reggio Calabria in 1946, presented his first signature collection in Milan in March 1978 and his first menswear collection that September. He led the house until his death in 1997.
Houndstooth is a woven check from British country and menswear dress. Enlarged and paired with the Medusa, the check takes on a graphic scale.
The scale of the check gives the cap a strong graphic presence, and the Medusa rivet marks it as Versace. It is listed as size small with a 59 cm circumference, and shows light signs of wear.
