Get the Look: Gianni Versace Style
Go Dramatic and Bold or Sultry and Revealing for Versace-Inspired Interiors
Looking for something understated and traditional for your home? Then fashion from the House of Versace is not for you. Not now, not ever. And that is okay because Versace feeds a decadent style that encompasses a European glamour and a rock-star attitude. Versace appeals to a world of artists, actors, and fashion aficionados.
Probably the most famous and memorable images of Versace style is the mid 1990’s presentation of Elizabeth Hurley’s tight black Versace gown held together up each side with safety pins. The revealing dress caused a stir and showed the world that Versace was innovative and daring in his fashion sense and approach. It also established Hurley as a bit of a vixen and Hollywood glamour girl.
In fashion, Versace's men’s and women’s lines reflect his reverence for history, the costume and modern art. Versace was an accomplished and impeccable designer. His interests in fashion drove him to incorporate modern materials into high style, creating a whole new spin on the body and fashion. Using plastic, metal mesh, and leather, Versace mixed popular culture with high fashion. The result was an innovative, pioneering presence.
The elements that define Versace's fashion style can also define the elements and designs of your home. Here's how:
