For each season since the fashion house inception in FALL 1981, Gianni Versace has released incredible large format catalogs to showcase his vision for each season for both the men’s and woman’s collection.  These catalogues are as much art books in photography as they are a testament of Versace’s fashion legacy.  They have the same attention to detail and extravagance as his runway fashion shows.  Hiring the best photographers for each book and the best supermodels of that era, they are a testament to Fashion in the 90’s.

All of these catalogues were only available to top clients who visited the designer’s boutiques during the season they were produced.  

I think this collection best describes what Gianni Versace was doing at his pinnacle in fashion - right before the Miami collection exploded.  Its around this time that his fashion shows created the supermodel and his use of baroque silk scarves were incorporated into men’s fashion like never before.
