A well documented and highly coveted Gianni Versace orange silk bustier maxi dress dating back to his iconic spring-summer 1996 collection. Versace’s creations were enjoyed by the super wealthy but his impact was felt across a wider section of society. Stylistically accessible and instantly recognizable, Versace’s fearless designs came to epitomize the 1990's. This vibrant show-stopper, runway look #64, was photographed on Helena Christensen. This dress was also featured on Amber Valletta for the season's ad campaign and on Cindy Crawford for the cover of the March 1996 issue of Marie Claire magazine. Talk about serious supermodel style! The gorgeous garment features high-quality mid weight orange silk with a skillfully placed inner bustier. Vogue described this collection as one of the most minimal Gianni ever showed so his flattering shapes were really highlighted. The low-cut plunge bustier design really showcases the bust and the skirted maxi is so wearable. This archival lifetime Gianni Versace would make an unforgettable resort or wedding guest look.
