The aesthetic of Versace is subversive, maximalist and unabashedly seductive. Versace mined celebrity, music and Pop art for inspiration. In fact, the New York Times noted in 1997 that the fashion industry “is now driven by contemporary culture because Mr. Versace made it that way.” Insiders consider his 1991/1992 Autumn/Winter runway show — which featured supermodels Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista lip-synching George Michael’s “Freedom! '90” — as the moment when the two worlds of fashion and pop culture became one, changing both forever. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Versace pieces from some of the world's top boutiques.

The Versace Medusa is the name of the logo used by the Italian luxury house Versace.
