The Gianni Versace Retrospective opens on July 16 at The Arches in London, displaying over 450 iconic items from the designer's career. The exhibition covers Versace's 21 fashion collections, from Spring/Summer 1988 to Autumn/Winter 1997-98, highlighting his innovative designs and craftsmanship. Pieces worn by celebrities like Princess Diana, Kate Moss, and Elton John will be included, alongside personal sketches and photographs, many previously unseen in the UK. Curator Karl von der Ahe emphasizes the significance of bringing this impactful retrospective to London, a city rich in creativity.
Central to the exhibition is a vibrant chronology of looks showcasing Versace's craftsmanship, innovation and immediately recognisable aesthetic across 21 collections, from Spring/Summer 1988 to Autumn/Winter 1997-98.
Bringing this retrospective to London feels especially meaningful. Gianni Versace's bold, unapologetic vision revolutionised fashion, and this city-so rich in creativity and culture-is the perfect place to celebrate it.
