Suit

Gianni Versace for Versace1991/1991

Museo del Traje, Madrid

Tulle jumpsuit in pink synthetic fiber completely covered with beads of synthetic stones and pasta vitrea stones. Ankle length, tight and sleeveless, with a round neckline. It is fastened in the center back panel with a matching metal zipper and clasp and at the legs with a similar zipper.

The decoration of precious stones is a background of pasta vitrea beads in silver and pink, with large geometric patterns that hold a symmetry, built with long, golden pasta vitrea beads and the larger pieces strung on metal, in blue, red, fuchsia, green and yellow color. In some cases the beads are made of plastic in the same tones. A golden metal thread finishes off the decoration.

The decorative excess is a constant feature in Gianni Versace collections. In this jumpsuit he combines a tight-fitting structure with an almost common multicolored plastic material covering the entire surface. This illustrates his provocative statement, "I do not believe in good taste," which partly explains his style. A style based on the recreation of the most striking elements of the baroque, neoclassicism and pop, which became icons of contemporary fashion.
