An exceptional and museum quality Gianni Versace black leather, silk & lace heavily sculpted bondage gown dating back to his 1992 fall-winter runway collection. This iconic collection, provocatively titled 'Miss S&M' definitely goes down in history as one of Gianni Versace's most recognizable looks. Versace’s fantasies came to life, fetishistic elements were worked into glamorous eveningwear, and with no small effort: Vogue said, “Getting strapped required eight hands. These high-maintenance looks were meant to be seen, not in a dungeon somewhere, but on the red carpet." As shown, this particular show-stopper of a gown, Look #62, has been worn by the likes of Christy Turlington, Tyra Banks, and was even Cindy Crawford's choice look for the MTV Video Music Awards! The gorgeous garment features high-quality black leather straps which have been carefully sewn together with sheer beaded lace illusion panels. I adore the bold gold-hardware buckles which have hundreds of sparkling yellow crystals worked in. From the molded bodice cups to the figure flattering hourglass skirting, the workmanship is wearable art at it's finest. We added many pictures so one can appreciate this masterpiece. The mark of a truly fashionable garment is that it remains stylish and timeless decades later and this rare Gianni Versace treasure surely delivers.
