A highly coveted and incredibly special Gianni Versace metallic gold pleated tinsel lamè high-slit goddess gown dating back to his epic 1994 fall-winter collection. This iconic dress was runway look #53 modeled by the legendary Linda Evangelista. Talk about serious supermodel style. This ultra rare gown combines Versace’s fascination with the future and his reverence for the past, evoking both the high shine of modern-day innovation and the timeless allure of what has come before. It’s also a great representation of his 1990's legacy, where he perfected the art of draped metallic dresses. This showstopper's best quality lies in its architectural design. The shimmering gold tinsel lamè drapes around the body with a super seductive liquid-like fluidity, hugging every curve as it cascades to the floor. The intricately boned bodice features a stunning light pink metallic leather strap complete with the iconic Medusa medallion. I love the stunning high side-slit that reveals the leg in a tantalizing manner! The look is perfectly punctuated by a decorative gold screw detail at the back. Every element of this dress speaks to Versace’s impeccable ability to create wearable art. A truly spectacular museum quality lifetime Gianni Versace gown that would make an unforgettable red carpet look.
