Gianni Versace
T he name Versace is synonymous with all that is sensual and bold. The
legendary Versace fashion house was founded in 1978 by Gianni Versace
whose passion for creating was born by watching his dressmaker mother as a
young boy. Under his leadership the house of Versace gained international respect
and fame for dressing the world’s most glamorous celebrities, everyone from
Madonna to Princess Diana. Versace is credited with creating some of the 1990s
most iconic fashion moments and inventing the supermodel. He saw fashion
as an art of the media. Through his carefully crafted advertising campaigns and
spectacular runway shows, his sorority of superstars, including Naomi Campbell,
Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Claudia Schiffer, became household names.
This single-owner collection was carefully curated in the 1990s by a gentleman
who recognized the artistry, fearlessness and talent of Gianni Versace. The trend
setting designs, paying homage to Versace’s classical European roots, struck a
chord with the collector who would go on to explore the many facets of the fashion
house. Assembling a thoughtful representation of Versace became his passion,
as is evident by this superb and rare collection of both couture and accessories.
Stored meticulously for the past twenty years, Leslie Hindman Auctioneers is
thrilled to present this collection at auction and offer other Versace admirers the
chance to own something truly special.

A rguably the most recognizable
Versace dress of all time was
worn by Elizabeth Hurley to a movie
premiere in 1994. It was held together
with safety pins and was the dress
seen round the world. Combining
the slashed clothing of British punk
with a body hugging sheath, a new,
scandalous little black dress was
born. A mixture of glamour and
audacity, the Spring 1994 collection
turned lingerie into evening wear and
safety pins, screws and bolts into
accessories.

of Versace is not for the timid. The Autumn/
Winter 1994-1995 collection mixed lady-like traditions
with modernism. The collection included high-tech
materials of the time, such as PVC. And leaning
into trends of the time, the designs featured midriff
peepholes reminiscent of Pretty Woman. Through the
same collection, Versace’s romanticism is on display in
some of the printed silk velvet pieces, which featured
passions such as painting and dance.
